Open the fridge. Nothing to eat.

Now, that's a strategy...

My son showed me this joke on Internet. I have gone through this motions a few times... And you? 

When this happens, it's often time to go for a walk!

By the way, in  Toronto Urban Strolls 2, there are three Stamina Building Strolls (Casa Loma Staircase Stroll, High Park Fitness Stroll and Upper Beaches Steep Hill Stroll).

50 ways to take a break

I tumbled across this illustration on Facebook and retraced it to Karen Horneffer-Ginter. She's the author of Full Cup, Thirsty Spirit and on her website, she has posted a link to a poster called "50 ways to take a break", which we can buy online.

Here are some of the ways to take a break suggested by Karen, which will be greatly facilitated by using my walking guides Toronto Urban Strolls. (I know... shameless plug...)

Call a friend
Walk outside
• Go to a body of water
• Watch the clouds
Move twice as slowly
• Sit in nature
• Read a book, Read poetry, Write in a journal, Write a quick poem (in one of the café´s along the strolls) 
• Take deep belly laughs (by walking with your friends)
Meander around town
Eat a meal in silence
Turn off all electronics
• Go for a run
• Create your own coffee break
View some art
Examine an everyday object with Fresh Eyes
• Drive somewhere new
• Go to a park
• Read or watch something funny
• Go to a Farmer's Market
• Let out a sigh
Notice your body
