Looking back on the past year - the status of our habits & daily routines

As the end of the year approaches many people look back on the year they are about to leave behind. These last two years were quite unusual. Everybody had to adjust to the new situation. Once more it became clear that everyday habits and routines were the basis of either healthy or unhealthy lifestyles. Small daily changes, such as a daily walk, meant the difference between maintaining a healthy weight and mental fitness or not.

Why walking is healthy

A lot of people found out that a daily walk is a healthy thing. The exercise is the least toilsome on the joints and sinews. It helps you maintain and train your endurance. It also helps you maintain or regain your mental fitness. Studies have shown that when you walk, your eyes - without intend - scan the horizon and surroundings. This horizontal eye movement is similar to the horizontal eye movements EMDR uses. EMDR helps people to desensitize painful events that happened in their past. Scientists do not yet know why this works. But they do know that it has such a positive effect.

Clever habits with the help of a coach

Daily habits - like a 30 minute walk every single day - have a huge impact on the fitness and mental wellbeing on each of us. We all had to learn new routines and some of us had to say goodbye to routines we've had for years, or even decades. This has been quite challenging for us all.
