Supporting Your Body, Mind, and Energy
by Rev. Dr. Gary
Cold, flu, and COVID season can feel overwhelming—especially when symptoms overlap, routines are disrupted, and stress levels run high.
Self-care during this time isn’t about doing more; it’s about doing what truly supports your body’s ability to rest, recover, and stay resilient.
This season is an invitation to slow down, listen, and respond with care.
Mindful walking isn’t about doing it “right.” It’s about showing up with intention and kindness toward yourself. Keeping a few simple basics in mind can help you get the most out of the practice—without pressure or perfection.
There’s no ideal pace, distance, or location. Walk indoors or outdoors, for five minutes or fifty. Mindful walking meets you exactly where you are—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Your mind will wander. That’s normal. When it does, gently bring your attention back to your steps, your breath, or your surroundings. There’s no need to judge or correct—awareness is the practice.
In our busy, fast-paced lives, walking is often treated as just another task—something we rush through while thinking about what’s next. Mindful walking gently shifts that experience. It invites us to slow down, tune in, and turn an ordinary walk into a meaningful act of self-care.
Mindful walking is not about how far you go or how fast you move. It’s about presence. It’s about walking with awareness—of your breath, your body, and the world around you—while giving your heart and mind the care they deserve.
Walking is one of the most accessible ways to support heart health, and when done mindfully, its benefits go even deeper. A calm, steady walk encourages healthy circulation, supports cardiovascular function, and helps regulate blood pressure—all without placing stress on the body.
Mindful walking emphasizes consistency over intensity, making it an ideal practice for people at all stages of…
The 30 Days of Mindful Walking program is a simple, supportive self-care journey designed to help you move with intention, reduce stress, and nurture your heart—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Over the course of 30 days, mindful walking becomes a daily ritual of presence rather than a task to complete.
This program invites you to slow down, notice your breath, and reconnect with your body through gentle, intentional movement. There are no distance goals, pace requirements, or expectations of perfection. Whether you walk for five minutes or fifty, indoors or outdoors, each step is an opportunity to care for yourself.
Each day, you’ll be guided with:
