Hike for Mental, Physical and Spiritual Wellbeing (#253, 7 Oct. 2024)

Just went on two amazing hikes this past weekend and it reminded me about the powerful mental, physical and spiritual benefits of a nature hike. What's the difference between a "hike" and a "walk"? Walking involves a paved surface while hiking involves walking on a unpaved trail out in nature. In this episode, I explore the health benefits of hiking versus walking and also try to convince you that it surpassed running in terms of your health. I also explore the cognitive benefits and share a book recommendation relating to intentionally creating "A-ha" moments of creative insight, The Eureka Factor: Aha Moments, Creative Insight, and the Brain." by Mark Beeman and John Kounious. Get out there and hike!!
