Summer Is Here

A Great Time To Get Outdoors

Revitalize Wellness Corner with Lee Zehm-Clay RN, BSN, FCN, HES St. Camillus Revitalize Wellness Manager

Of the Eight Dimensions of Wellness (emotional, physical, occupational, social, spiritual, intellectual, community, and financial), joining a walking group touches on at least five of these. How’s that? Let’s explore:

We all know that walking is a great physical activity that requires no special equipment or a gym membership…. (Well, maybe you will need to invest in a good pair of walking shoes.)

By moving your body through walking, you release stress-reducing hormones called endorphins. These endorphins interact with receptors in your brain to reduce the perception of pain and trigger positive feelings in the body so walking can be emotionally uplifting.

Getting outdoors for a walk also gives you an opportunity to return your spirit to the natural elements that surround you. To be fully immersed and connected to a greater power than you alone.

When we explore a bit further, we learn that joining a walking group also provides you with the opportunity become more socially involved. As you meet more people and build connections with others in your group you become a member of a community. Being a member of a community gives you a sense of purpose and belonging which circles back to providing you emotional wellness. As a community member you may even tap into some of your occupational skills and talents by designing new walking paths or organizing the group to “walk for a cause” such as the Alzheimer’s or Breast Cancer Prevention.

Our walking group at St. Camillus has over 11 members now and we’ve only just started. We walk every Wednesday morning rain or shine, indoors or out. If you would like to learn more about our group give us a call:

Whether you opt to join a group or just get walking on your own, the secret is to just get moving and as the famous Dr. Suess says: “Oh, the Places You’ll Go.”

Until next time.
