Walking regularly, and mindfully, means you notice things change over time. On today’s damp walk in the park I discovered: • carpets of bluebells • longhorn cattle in a usually empty field Now feeling refreshed for going outside, despite the rain.

As a beginning coach, do you feel you need to learn more before you can coach someone? This belief was holding me back until I realised I needed to start, reflect and remember the value of coaching.

Walks in nature help me to mentally decompress and feel more grounded. Seeing bluebells in bloom during my walk today was just what I needed at the end of the busy week. What helps you?

Sundays are for slowing down. I now try to walk whenever possible. Today walked the 2.5 miles into town at a gentle pace. Nice to leave the car behind. Now feeling refreshed and ready for coffee and writing.

Record your wins, however small, in a "Jar of Awesome". It can be a real jar, or an electronic note. Whenever you feel stuck or filled with doubt, read what's in the jar to remind yourself of those wins or moments of gratitude.

3 ways you can add walking to your day as a busy professional to boost your well-being and productivity: • block out your diary in advance for a walk - lunchtime is good • book meetings for 25/55 minutes and walk around between meetings • turn 1:1s into walking meetings

If you want to add walking when you’re busy - 🗓️ schedule it. It provides you with a nudge, while also giving you the time to do it. I regularly block my lunchtime to have that break in the day, get moving and prepare for the afternoon. It's also a chance to explore 🗺️

Movies with realistic or positive portrayals of mental health challenges? I’m collating some movies to recommend for our film club to raise mental health awareness. Any suggestions of movies to include?

I’ve commuted to London for over 20 years and for most of this was in that head down, autopilot rush to and from the office. I now realise there is so much benefit from slowing down and • walking more • paying attention to my surroundings • noticing my breathing I arrive
