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:
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.
Whilst walking our little pup Alfie this evening, I could feel someone watching us. It was this little guy.

Ahh, what a cute little guy! That's a lovely photo, chellesimo . Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the chat so far. It looks like we might have a wetter week ahead, but I hope everyone still manages to get outside and enjoy some fresh air when they can.
Looking forward to seeing more photos and hearing about your experiences from this week.
Yes there is something about nature and animals gods creatures that have the ability to lift our spirits. In my darkest hours over last 6 months i have appreciated just sitting in our beautiful front garden and watching them eat or fly around the bird table.
Stunning
