4.4 Go on a sensory walk

Going outside for a walk is a very simple way to experience savouring.

It also has other benefits that boost wellbeing, such as exercise, exposure to the sun, fresh air etc., so is an excellent way to boost your mood.

A walk with your family

Described image

Plan to go on a walk with your family (or this can be done on your own) for at least 20 minutes.

As you are walking, one by one, go through your five senses of:

  • Sight
  • Sound
  • Touch
  • Taste
  • Smell.

Share your thoughts and feelings together about what you are experiencing.

Reflect on how you feel after your walk and make a note of this in the text box below.
