Walking while wearing office attire

One activity in my life that keeps me younger is walking. It will clear my mind, energize my body and connect my spirit with the source. I been walking since I can remember. Some times I forget and I start getting uneasy.

I made it a habit to walk at least 15 minutes after lunch, not minding the climate conditions. I have walked in 100-degree weather and it feels just good. After sitting in front of a computer for hours and moving just enough to get the phone or a pen and maybe coffee and use the restroom, I go outside and feeling the wind touching my face, my body warming up and rapidly adapting to the change; listening to the birds and believing they are singing to me. Feeling the sun in my face and arms. It’s just great!

My brain gets oxygen and after only 15 minutes or so, I feel renewed, so I can go back to work happy and invigorated. With mind clear, my body relaxed, I’m able to perform at the best of my abilities.

I set an example for the rest of the office building as for years I thought I was alone and at first, I found a lady walking on her working clothes so I asked, and she said, “You are not alone.”

Then I noticed a large group of people walking around the parking lot with a leader, at noon for a few minutes, and by their comments I was able to perceive that they were enjoying every minute. Later I learned that they worked for the insurance company that occupies the top floor of the building.

I believed I set an example and I assumed that they are having as much fun as I am.
