The JOY of Walking



As others drove in their cars, emitted pollutants... We walked... And emitted nothing but our breath and voices.


As others sat at their computers, we walked, and got our blood flowing.



As others had the comfort of shelter and air-conditioning, we walked and I seriously worked up a tons of sweat but was lastly rewarded by the wind.If only we have cleaner, fresher and cooler air.....


We walked, going around, looking around, taking our time (ok, I took my time...) and looking at the cafes in Tiong Bahru...I do love to walk, just spare me from the pain and discomfort and I'll rather walk than to run... Just wishing that the Sun and Wind will be superly kind enough to me... After the adjustment today, I feel good and not in pain. Feeling good to be walking too. Signs of me getting better since I do think I walked quite abit today. =)


I'm feeling tired but happy.


I can’t walk this much every day, but after today think I'll walk as much as I can.... Because I need nothing to walk, I spend nothing.... And yet I will create a healthier habit, becoming a happier me.

My plans of getting Dr Wong to stop the medication failed... Well... Was thrown back to the need to swallow pills every single day...But he put it in a nicer way though....

Here is the typical pattern for chronic disease sufferers: You feel awful, and you start to lose the ability to perform tasks of daily living and activities you used to enjoy, such as walking or exercising or even playing sports. Movement brings pain and frustration. You respond by moving as little as possible. It doesn’t take long for your body to lose whatever level of conditioning you started with, and the worse condition your body is in, the worse you feel, both physically and psychologically. As you feel worse, you move even less. The last thing on your mind may be exercise. But there is increasing evidence that exercise is one of the things most likely to keep you feeling your best.... Pretty soon, you’re in such poor shape that you’re putting yourself at risk for developing additional chronic conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer. The condition that started you on this path has probably worsened, too...... And yet.... 

No running away from this Invisible Fight....

Breathe

If it is getting hectic, and you feel overwhelmed and feeling all drained and tired....
If you are abit lost, feeling without direction, getting all distracted and full of doubt....
If you feel that the temper is coming up, you feel like exploding.....
If you feel that you are getting all anxious, getting all nervous....
If you are worried about something coming up, or caught up in something that already happened.... 

Take a deep breath. Repeat... Take a deep breath...

Breathe

It will calm you and release the tensions. It will bring you back to the present.
It will remind you of your health condition and to go easy on your temper.
It will remind you to slow down, and enjoy life more.

Breathe, and enjoy each single breath you take.. The feeling being alive.....  Enjoy this life. .
