Thanet user Forum Walk &Talk
- Walking has been shown to improve self esteem, relieve symptoms of depression and anxiety, and improve mood and aid in recovery. Walking, particularly in pleasant surroundings, and with other people, offers many opportunities for relaxation and social contact. The aim is to encourage people to take up gentle exercise as well as introducing them to new friends. Each week we will embark on a gentle stroll, of an hour or so, stopping afterwards for refreshments and a forum meeting. We meet once a week in Margate and walk in the local area. § Comments we have had back say that walking is an enjoyable exercise and improves physical health and mental being. § It reduces stress, promotes relaxation and improved sleep and introduces people to their natural surroundings § I’ve been through Depression and Anxiety and I found that I had a 100% increase in self esteem and Having a really stressful life at the moment means that walks are the only time I can get away from it. Always feel more relaxed and unwound after a walk
