It used to be called walking😂

Marvellous!

Is smiling at people you meet allowed or would a cheery 'good morning' break the silence?

Me too I'm a trendsetter.

This truly makes me roll my eyes. Are these the sane people who rechristened a walk in the woods “forest bathing”?

When you think about it, the more people get wrapped up in technology the less they engage with the natural world. So 'discovering' anything natural will be a revelation to them. These are things we were brought up with as perfectly normal, because we had no technology.

Dear me, whatever next? Obviously it’s much better to drive half a mile to the gym, and then spend half an hour on a walking treadmill. Any exercise is so much more beneficial if you have to pay for it. 😉

On a treadmill with headphones on, of course.

Oooh, I'm massively on trend for once 😁

Not sure about silent walking if the rain is pattering heavily on the hood of your waterproof (as happened to me in Cornwall recently). Does that count does anyone know?

Is there reliable evidence that mindfulness is beneficial?

As we didn't have a car I must have been in a flow state for much of my life.

Is talking to the dog allowed or does that interrupt the flow?

Wow. For the first time ever, I'm trendy!

Well although the thing is nonsensical - if it does encourage some humans to leave their technology at home for once, then it will at least have some benefit!

Those of us in the older generations are used to having "silent" times. These days many people just can't bear it even for a few minutes.

Mindful Walking:

I heard quite a bit about mindfulness from youngest DC years ago.
Then I bought her the Ladybird Book of Mindfulness and she and her housemates saw the funny side.

Goodness me, all this time I’ve been a trendsetter without realising it 😂😂😂.

I am a bit grumpy about it Callistemon as I had to do enforced mindfulness artwork a while back, it made me stressed!

At work that should say

I think I'd enjoy that 😁
My knees wont let me walk at the moment.

Oh dear, Callistemon, I hope you're feeling up to a nice walk soon.
Keep your knees nice and warm. xx

Even my friends have realised the world has gone a bit bonkers.
