During Covid, I had 3 tricks I used (beyond listening to something fun on my phone.)

My favorite, suggested by my pain doc, was a "sensory walk." Choose one sense to concentrate on during the walk. For example, the sense of smell. Focus on what each thing you pass smells like, how the smells change through the course of your walk - like stepping from the open area along a path into the woods. Pause, see what new smells you can pick out, let your imagination take you back to other times you smelled these scents. Or walking past a bakery, barbecue, or ethnic restaurant - what spices can you pick out? Do the smells trigger memories? Another day sounds, or colors, or shapes - you get the idea.

The second thing I would do is "walk with a friend" remotely - we would chat on the phone about everything and nothing on our daily walks. Sometimes it was one of my winter walking buddies in another state, other times my brother in his truck driving between job sites.

The third, and not necessarily the best exercise, but often the most fun, was to walk with my grandson or a little neighbor boy. I would see the world through their eyes, enjoy watching them scuff leaves or stomp through puddles, listen to their chatter...and give Mommy a little break.

Can any of these motivate you to move? Can you think of any other ways to motivate?
