It’s the dying end of autumn, so nobody is getting enough daylight and a chill is creeping into the bones and everybody’s stressed about money. So take a walk.
Taking a walk won’t fix any of the larger issues at play, here, but ita way to elevate your heart rate that will reduce your risk of stroke, unlike, you know, sitting online and being bombarded with notifications.
They’ll wait until you get back. I have never been especially fond of the outdoors or exercise, even though I know it’s very good for me, and now I’ve reached the point in adulthood when it’s very difficult to find the time for regular trips to the gym, which is also expensive. No membership fee is required, however, for a brisk walk to the corner and back, though! Plus, I recently read some thing about “” which is apparently a Dutch concept for taking a brisk walk in blustery weather, which frankly sounds very nice and manageable. There’s an entire cottage industry, at this point, of intense solutions to the problems created or at least exacerbated by modern technology: digital detoxes, the entirety of wellness culture. Because most of us are neither a tech billionaire nor Gwyneth Paltrow, it’s all too easy to get sucked instead into furiously posting, or even scrolling angrily and muttering to ourselves and our loved ones. Mostly, this just lines the pockets of Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey, ie, the people who are helping to make us all so cranky in the first place. Perhaps there is an answer that is simpler and as old as our ancestors’ ability to balance on their two feet: have you walked today? Look, it certainly can’t hurt. Personally, I’m walking to a book and bake sale this weekend. Other Jezebel staffers will be walking their dogs. All nice things! If it’s good enough for Elizabeth Bennett, it’s good enough for the rest of us. For god’s sake: take a walk!
