I do love a good walk.

My two favourite are a beautiful hill/mountain walk in the sun with a light breeze to keep me cool or at night through a sleepy town or village with a light fog where the orange streetlights shine through.

Both are so peaceful, it helps calm my anxiety.

Walks are so good for anxiety - some light exercise, a little bit of sun, time to collect your thoughts without screens or distractions. It's sort of meditative.

Agreed. I can find it hard but I try to not use headphones to listen to music or an audiobook every time I go for a walk. I'm trying to get myself comfortable with my own thoughts and let them wash over me so my brain can eventually calm and relax without distraction.

Just let the walk itself be the gentle stimulation.

Don't forget that your odds of finding and petting the roving neighbourhood cats increases as you walk more vs. driving.

And the potential for finding loot.

I've found neat things on the side of the road by walking around my home, ranging from brass knuckles to a case with 3 Nintendo Switch cartridges inside. I tried to find the owner of the games (probably a kid who dropped it when getting off the school bus) but was unable to.

I like the cut of your jib. The real gems I've found were literally that, rings and earrings of varying quality/value. I credit video games for the habit, it always pays dividends finding random partially-concealed valuables on the ground. This doesn't even count the number of (rarely) full/half-full packs of cigarettes, which sometimes contain other substances from nugs to hash and beyond.
