Walking is wonderful - one of my greatest joys is my daily 45 minute constitutional with my dog.
Start paying attention to your thoughts. Are you replaying the events of the day, the argument, or endlessly chewing on a problem? If so, the benefits of your walk are being overshadowed by the negative emotions in which you are 'bathing'.
Negative emotions affect your heart rhythms which directly affect how you perform emotionally, mentally and physically.
By learning how to transform those draining thoughts and emotions, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how your performance in all areas of your life begins to improve.
