Being that I am someone who suffers from depression, anxiety, and even stress, one thing I have found is that I can go out for a walk, and whilst it doesn't fully get rid of my mental health, it can help how I feel during that time just getting out of the house, getting some fresh air and seeing a change of scenery. As long as I go for a walk at quieter times and I am with someone I feel like getting out and having even a walk for 30 minutes helps me feel better than what I did before I went out.
Do you feel heading out for a walk helps your mental health? How often do you try to head out for a walk each week?

Re: Do you feel heading out for a walk helps with your mental health?
heading out for a walk significantly helps with my mental health. The combination of fresh air, physical activity, and a change of scenery boosts my mood and reduces stress. Walking also provides time for reflection and mental clarity, allowing me to disconnect from daily pressures and reconnect with myself, leading to improved overall well-being.

Re: Do you feel heading out for a walk helps with your mental health?
Each time that I am very confused about life, I end up taking a walk. It is one of the ways to stay focused and relaxed after doing this alone. So, I believe it can help anyone looking to clear their head.
Re: Do you feel heading out for a walk helps with your mental health?
Walking benefits mental health by reducing stress, improving mood, and boosting cognitive function. It triggers the release of endorphins, which act as natural mood lifters. Regular walks can also decrease anxiety and depression by providing a calming routine and exposure to nature. Plus, the physical activity helps regulate sleep patterns, further supporting mental well-being.
