Nice quote! Who’s is it?? Walking is good for the mind for sure! 🚶🏻♂️🧘♂️
Reminds me of Søren Kierkegaard quote:
“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness.”
If happiness were only a matter of movement, athletes would be the wisest of men.

Fuller quote. “Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.”
Why I go for daily walks. Though here's a compromise: think about philosophy on your walks.
No doubt! This is why I gotta start every day with cardio either from some laps in the pool, a hike up the ridge, or lifting at the gym.
Also hormones
I did a few weeks of anavar (mild anabolic steroid) and almost instantly felt like a winner.
Every situation I experienced, I perceived with the lens that I was a boss and it as good thing
And then coming off was about an equal and opposite reaction - so wont be doing it again
Insane how much hormones effect your entire life
This is why I’m so grateful my fiat job is massage therapy. I get to dynamically move my body… and get paid pretty damn well. You can only contemplate “higher level thinking” when your body isn’t in survival mode.

100% agree!
I love knowing that physical fitness will improve my mental and spiritual health. That's an easy win. I go for a relaxing run in the mountains in the morning and my mind and spirit are boosted for the day.
Tony Robbins (I'm a big fan) will tell you that psychology is 80% of life but the most important thing you'll need to live a great life is fantastic physical health.
You can not separate the two.
Liberals who run 6 miles a day in order to overcome their anxiety inducing philosophy can't outrun it.
Good philosophy + good physicality = good life
We live in a physical universe... of course your happiness will be directly affected by your degree of physical fitness/strength.
Physics is god
Physiology is biological hardware.
Everything else is Bill Gates-like software.

I started hot yoga about 18mths ago and my body and mind have never been in better shape.
Now I’m that insufferable friend/coworker that tells anyone with any ailment that they should do hot yoga. Or psychedelics.
lifted today anon?

Duhhhhhhhhhh you can just move.
Plenty of research behind this and my personal proof-of-walk (or other forms of exercise) anecdotal evidence agrees
How do you do, fellow meat sacks?
Contrasts, variety, and balance makes life life⚡️

True
It’s a humble but powerful reminder: never underestimate the happiness found in good old-fashioned movement.
True 👌 sometimes the best philosophy is just moving your body. I feel the same when I run, clears the head better than any book
💯
Awesome, congrats
Yes it is ✊
Oh yes 🙌 very well said
Let’s go!!!

Partially true, partially incorrect logic. Yes, walking a lot is great. Yes, man is an animal, therefore improving physiology improves happiness. No, man is not only an animal, therefore it is dangerously incorrect to infer that there are not other shifts that would have profoundly more impact on happiness than walking 6 miles daily. Plenty of neuroscience-based studies on other higher determinants of happiness also.
Obviously there’s higher order drives in humans, but physicality is a baseline
Correct. Which is why the author is incorrect to infer that walking a lot is the best remedy without an investigation or higher order drives.
