I am not a morning person at all. And getting up early in
the morning and jogging off alone never excited me . But this early wake up
routine became exciting when I started going out together for a walk with my
bestie Anu. A long walk with a close one
helps you deal with so many issues in our life.
Early morning her phone calls would nudge me to get out of
bed and I would lazily join her for a walk. Initially it was just a calorie
burner for both of us. Later on , we
started discussing everything that
happened in our day to day life with each other. I would pile up on her
all my office issues, my fights with mom, my relationship issues etc. She would
discuss everything under the roof with me . She would give me her opinions and I would give her my thoughts
about the same. Our lives became an open book . Doing this made me realise how light hearted I
felt everytime when I returned back from walk. I started feeling mentally strong and used to look forward to
begin each day with a new optimistic attitude.
Early morning walks are something recommended for every age
group. And when you do it together with a close one it makes you physically and
mentally strong. We slowly started
bonding with the pets that would come for a stroll with their owners . We would
spend time with the old uncles and aunts who would come in for walks with their
pets. That one hour we spent would set the mood for the rest of the day . We would return back with a new zeal and
optimism. Now that we are married off to two different locations, morning walks
together is something that has been a
distant dream.
But still a single phone call from either end reduces the distance within seconds and we end up chatting
endlessly . And it feels so much better. Guess that is the power of being #together!
Every day is like a
roller coaster ride for us and we face so many hurdles in our life . It takes
strength to deal with it and move on a
positive note. We all have fights at home, face pressure at work, career
aspirations, buying a house and so many
other issues. There are times when you just cant take it any more and you just
need to take a break; a break from all this mundane stuff. Nothing helps more than sharing stuff with
your loved ones. At times its simply enough to know that some one is out there
to listen to your problems without judging you.
Morning walks are important.it releases stress and sometimes gives you a great boost for our day ahead. Along the way everybody has problems , arguments , etc. and we just want somebody to talk to who can listen to us and not be judgemental. I can totally relate.Cheers
