  Daily walks every evening pulled me out of my depression. Sometimes it was extremely hard to make myself go outside but i kept forcing myself to do so

  I’m a UPS delivery driver. Walk around 10-18k steps a day depending on the day. We tell each other we get paid to workout. It’s a helpful mentality to get through the tougher days

  "humans, who had been walking for their entire history, right up until a hundred years ago, still need to continue doing so" truly marvelous insight.

  10,000 steps a day helped with my insomnia and depression, if you deal with both, definitely give it a try.<br><br>Edit: I would also like to say it is not the &apos;complete cure&apos;, but rather a positive step in reducing my depression and anxiety.

  I used to be an avid walker until I was crippled at 53 with a late diagnosis of rather advanced multiple sclerosis, and 10,000 steps seems like a dream to me now, but I have clawed my way up to 2500 and sometimes top 3000. Thank you for this inspiration to keep moving.

  Brisk walks literally make me feel alive. It&apos;s therapeutic. Makes me grateful for all ten toes, my feet, and both my legs. 🙏🏾 stuff ppl don&apos;t really think about.

  I’ve lost 122 pounds in a year from walking! I was always yelled at in elementary, middle, and highschool for walking instead of running. But walking this last year I went from 350 to 228!!! &nbsp; People always ask me if I’m going to start running… but I’m really happy and whole new person!

  I&apos;m a 68 year old lady and I walk around one to two hours a day. I love it. I can&apos;t imagine my life without it.

  To anyone who&apos;s suffering depression, anxiety, insomnia and other mental health problems, you are not alone. I feel you. You are so brave. You are doing so well. I&apos;m proud of you. I&apos;m sending you a virtual hug ❤ For me, it wasn’t therapy or meds that helped the most — it was reconnecting with myself. I started using the exercises in Shift Your Mind by Alexander Brooks, and it made me feel human again. The anxiety that used to control my whole day barely shows up now! 🙏❤
