While very few of us will ever look like a living sculpture, we can all take care of our bodies, and consequently our minds and souls. One of the best ways to get some exercise is to take a walk around your neighborhood, or even around a local indoor our outdoor mall. Walking gives you a chance to get your heart pumping, but also an opportunity to fire up your mind. It's a great chance to look around your neighborhood and see what you've been missing from inside your car. Take a look at the colors around you--the sky, the plants, the houses, the signs. Enjoy nature and enjoy the work of other humans--architecture, landscaping. Make a point of finding five things that interest you each time you take a walk. You won't regret it. Just be careful during these hot summer months. Walk in the morning or early evening when the weather is a little less brutal and always make sure to have some water handy. Another great item to have on a walk is a "cooling bandana." Filled with crystals which hold cold water, a few minutes in the refrigerator are all these bandanas need to keep you cool while you stroll.
