Gratitude walks are the perfect activity for adults and/or children when they are feeling stressed and/or overwhelmed. It involves taking a walk in nature, somewhere where there are different plants and trees, animals and insects or a pond, lake, or the sea.
It can be a walk around your garden, a local park, or neighbourhood where the focus is on things you are grateful that are all around you, such as the bright blue sky, the brightly coloured flowers, the buzzing of a bumble bee or the bird song.
This can help to promote positive emotions, mindfulness, and resilience. It can also promote a feeling of awe and wonder at the beauty that surrounds us that we don’t always pay attention to.
Research shows we experience more positive emotions when we experience a sense of gratitude regularly so look for ways to get outside and take a gratitude walk next time you feel the stress levels rising.
