Definition: The original low-fidelity wellness hack. It involves deliberately propelling yourself forward using legs, typically outdoors, without spending money on gear, apps, or overpriced hydration. Just you, some pavement or dirt, and maybe a podcast.
This free anti-depressant/sleep aid/creative muse combo boosts mood via sunlight and movement, provides uninterrupted reflection time away from screens, and subtly mocks complex fitness trends. The ultimate rebellion against needing to buy things to feel human.
Example:
Feeling stressed, I laced up my sneakers for a free anti-depressant run, needing nothing but pavement and sunlight to clear my head.
My best ideas come during runs; it’s uninterrupted reflection time away from screens, a quiet rebellion against needing stuff to feel good.
