Members of the Online Community have shared how helpful getting outside and walking has been for their mental health and wellbeing, even if it’s only a few steps around the garden or a few quiet moments in nature.

This thread is a space for anyone in the Online Community to share those moments. You’re welcome to:

Share when you’ve been for a walk or spent some time outside
Talk about how you were feeling before or after
Share encouraging thoughts or quotes
Post photos from your walk (while staying safe and not sharing identifying details)

There’s no pressure, targets, or competition. The idea is simply to encourage one another, share the small moments that help, and enjoy some of the wellbeing benefits that can come from fresh air, movement, and time spent outdoors.

QE rang me yesterday but I was in Costa. MRI on 13th July, but said they’d ring me back but haven’t done so yet. So I’ll be able to get up to Glasgow before then for mini break.

I’m on hormone treatment as well and I find the fatigue is the worst part well done on your walking I am going to try and get out more x

I’ll probably be the same as you once I start the treatment. I’m not on radiotherapy or hormone treatment at the moment. I go out walking with various groups as a social thing as well as exercise. Its going to be hard going if I can’t do that & my mental health is going to take a knocking. I live on my own you see. Though I’ll just have to get on with it. The QE didn’t ring me back yesterday or ring me today ggrrrr!!

Sorry Juneig. Your cancer sounds much worse than mine. You have my sympathies.
