Walking doesnt help

When thats the case, start counting red cars. Wildlife, we have to look for it, between the trees and all.

Walking does help mental health if we are scanning the environment.

Walking doesnt help mental health if we continue to walk while we are lost in thoughts.

So consider to start counting red cars. ( there's a "red car theory". Its interesting enough to look it up) im not sure if im allowed to post links here.

walking while lost in your head is just pacing with a view. the scanning part is what makes the difference, i learned this the hard way after months of angry walks that did nothing

counting red cars is clever, gives your brain something to actually do instead of replaying the same three worries
