Psychiatrician Dr. Samantha Boardman suggests that adding a "awe walk" to your daily walk, or "flaneuring," to enhance the mental health benefits of walking, can significantly increase the benefits of mental health, cardiovascular fitness, reduced blood pressure and blood sugar, boosted metabolism, weight maintenance (or loss), improved bone health, and more. However, Boardman recommends an additional 15-minute walk, which involves leaving your phone in your pocket and observing your surroundings for at least 15 minutes, to reduce some of the negative thoughts in your mind. This exercise can also enhance your mood and improve your sense of overall well-being.
