Activity

Walking my dog used to always be just a duty that had to be done. Every single day I used to take him out for about 10 minutes, but recently I thought about something – maybe I should turn these evening walks into a fun and active CAS experience? So I did. 

This month, I was extending our walks up to 30 minutes, at least two times a week. I have to say that I really liked it. And so did my dog! Olinek is my best friend since I was a child and these long walks combined with running around or playing football in the nearby forest create a very special bond between us. I also feel better with myself, because this activity really calms me down and helps in sorting out some things in my head. It's like a therapeutic session and I love it. It's also great for my body, because active leisure is always better than the passive one. 

I feel so much beter after every walk and my dog seems to be really thankful. Now I know that everyday duties can be turned into a fun experience with just a little bit of effort.
