          I did some experimenting today with Japanese walking that Kiran Goyal and Konami had shared with me … was happy I found an app for that so I didn’t have to keep watching the clock and could continue to listen to my audio book 🙂

            Anirudh This notice says 5:30 pm Pst, and another says 6:30? which is correct? I am EST, so it is three hours later? Thank s for clarification.

                    Hi my dears! Half hour morning walk done! This is near the San Mateo levy running a block away from home. Love and best wishes for the walk love! 💕💃🙏🏻

                    Pasting some benefits about it per morning time benefits!
                    A morning walk feels so good because it works on your body, mind, and energy all at once:

                    Physically:
                    • Overnight, your body is stiff and circulation is slower. Walking gets your blood moving, joints loosened, and oxygen flowing.
                    • It helps regulate cortisol (stress hormone), which naturally peaks in the morning — so the walk balances it out instead of letting it spike.
                    • Sunlight exposure boosts Vitamin D and sets your circadian rhythm, making you more alert during the day and sleep better at night.

                    Mentally:
                    • Walking outdoors in the quiet morning reduces mental clutter and anxiety, almost like meditation in motion.
                    • Nature sounds, fresh air, and open space calm the nervous system.
                    • It gives you a gentle dopamine and serotonin lift — so mood improves without effort.

                    Energetically/Emotionally:
                    • The morning air is usually fresher, with more oxygen and negative ions, which can literally make you feel lighter.
                    • It creates a sense of accomplishment early in the day, which sets a positive tone.
                    • Spiritually, many traditions view the early morning (Brahma Muhurta, dawn time) as the most sattvic — peaceful, clear, and uplifting.

                    ✨ That’s why a morning walk feels like you’ve pressed a “reset button” — your body wakes up, your mind clears, and your mood brightens.
