Hello everyone

[GardenEnjoy]

I'm new to this chat. I'm trying to get healthier and help my anxiety.

Welcome to the forum GardenEnjoy, to help you get healthier and less anxiety I hope you will enjoy your walks, try and join a local walking group in your area which tend to do shorter walks than joining the ramblers which go very long walks miles from where you live, the local walking group I am in is on a Thursday, there are 3 distances we can choose, 1K, 2K and 4K, I am in the 4K group , good luck.

Thanks for the kind welcome.

Welcome!!! And if you haven’t spotted the Active10 app yet, it should be at the bottom of this page (or to the right).

The Active10 app is quite fun as you can collect colourful badges for motivation.

Otherwise, just let us know how your walks are going. We love to hear about each walk!

Happy walking!

Hi GardenEnjoy, I am also new for the same reason. I found this app when I found Active 10. Most days for the past week I am doing 10mins active walking, I love gardening and have an allotment. Even planting one seed and watching it grow on the windowsill helps me see joy. I also find colouring books help me while the weather is poor. Maybe we could share ideas on how we manage anxiety and stress.

That’s fabulous. We have a few gardeners and allotment holders in the walking community, including my little container vegetable plants. As you say, it’s good for the soul!

Hi LittleOwls, I also find this app when I found active 10. I love being outside. I like colouring books too.
