Screens continue their war march to conquer our lives and we must revolt.
How?
Here’s a fun phrase for you to repeat to yourself a few times today:
“Solvitur Ambulando”
That’s latin for “It is solved by walking”.
Walking is a natural miracle that can see us through a challenge we’re facing or stress we’re experiencing.
The screen machines can be defeated through peaceful protest.
Turn it off, leave it at home and W.A.L.K.
Power Acronym 66: W.A.L.K.
I decided to write this Power Acronym to share my love for a stroll.
Wisdom
I don't know all the science behind walking any how it works but I do know that whenever I do take the time to get some steps in I find peace.
The Heroic mantra/definition for Wisdom is “know the ultimate game and how to play it well.”
Awareness
Focusing on my breath and simply being present is something I try to do throughout my day, but as a person who usually has a million tabs open on two screens while talking on the phone, breaking away helps me gain perspective and let my thoughts come and go.
Leadership
Remember in grade school when the teacher would have your class line up at the door so that they could maintain some order as dozens of other kids made way to the cafeteria?
In my school the first one behind the teacher usually was being rewarded for good behavior.
Sometimes the worst kid was directly behind the teacher, just in case they tried something disruptive again.
Either way, the teacher led the pack in the way they should go.
Kinesis
Last night I moved my body for 30 minutes.
.63 mile run down my street, moved some weight around back at the house, then another .45 mile run.
Nothing crazy but I got my heart rate up and broke a sweat.
Shook off the day and moved.
Kinetic energy strengthens the body and the mind.
Next time you’re feeling stuck, remember to W.A.L.K.!
