The French Morning Walk

The French walk everywhere. Not for exercise, but for life. The morning walk to the boulangerie, the stroll after lunch. Walking is not a workout. It is how the French metabolize both food and thoughts.

Tomorrow morning, walk for 15 minutes before checking your phone. No podcast, no music. Just walk. Notice the sky, the air, the neighborhood. This is the French daily ritual that costs nothing.
