Who knew there was actually a day to celebrate winter walks? Typically coinciding with the holiday season, the Winter Walks Festival unfolds with organized walks on various dates in December and January and provides the opportunity to get outside, embracing the enchantment of winter scenery and relishing the benefits of outdoor activity.
The Winter Walks Festival this year is on December 20th and is an annual celebration, encouraging people to immerse themselves in the serene charm of winter landscapes. This event inspires people to take time out of their busy schedules, invest in themselves and helps to refocus. Physical activity has a huge potential to enhance our well-being. Even a short burst of 10 minutes of brisk walking increases our mental alertness, energy and positive mood. Taking part in regular physical activity can increase our self-esteem and can reduce stress and anxiety.
Here are some ways to get involved:
Plan to get out with family or friends and visit a nearby nature trail, park, woodland or my favourite, living near the sea, is a coastal walk. It doesn’t have to be long, a 20 -30 minute walk would do you the power of good.
Explore around you and make the most of what is on your doorstep.
Stay Cozy: Wrap up warm, don comfortable boots, and take along a hot chocolate, I’m not promoting it, but if you’re not the driver, why not whack in a little Baileys or Brandy in to your hot drink! Take some snacks for a pit stop while taking in the scenery.
Birdwatching: Winter proves to be an opportune time for birdwatching, as many bird species are more easily spotted without the foliage of spring and summer.
Photography: Capture the moment and share your photos to inspire others. Here are some of my snaphots this Winter.
