Part 5/7:
Inspired by Darwin, who religiously treaded the same path for thought, I designed my own "thinking path." Unlike Darwin's fixed route, I incorporated flexibility, allowing for three lengths of the walk based on my mood and time constraints. This adaptability provided a sense of comfort, making it easier for me to integrate walking into my daily routine without feeling the weight of time pressure.
These shorter walks became less intimidating, allowing for more frequent outings, which in turn seemed to yield a comparable boost in energy and mood to that of longer treks. Motivating myself to walk more often started to feel less like a chore and more like an enjoyable ritual.
