It is easy to create a garden walk for yourself wherever you live. Even if you live in a big city, there are always green patches somewhere. They say saving Central Park in Manhattan for the trees and the lawns was the best decision New York City could make. Not all cities are that lucky. But there are green patches in every city. What you need to do if you only have a small city park where you can walk is give it your full and undivided attention. Even on your way to the park notice the green grass coming out of the cracks in the pavement. The green life is a resilient one. Pay close attention to it. Observe how the thin green stalks absorb the sunlight, observe how the sunlight penetrates them. Observe the trees and the occasional flower on the balcony.

As you walk toward your chosen destination which can be the green patch or a park you picked, change your path regularly. This will help you see new things every day. New buildings and new faces. Say hi, and look people in the eyes. Be a friend, even if just for a second.

Often it helps to change your pace on your way to your green park. Sure, go ahead and speed up your walk and get the benefit of more cardio, aerobic exercise. But you can also slow down. If you slow down, notice how difficult it may be for you to keep the slower pace. We get accustomed to always hurrying somewhere. Slowing down is a learned skill. Here is your chance to learn that. And you will notice more. You will find more flowers and bushes along the way just waiting for you to notice them. Look at them like you have never seen them before, with a pair of fresh eyes. Enjoy the view.

So here you have it. Even if you are a city dweller, by following these tips you will carve your own botanic garden out of a busy city for yourself. You will enjoy the benefits of a good walk and will never be bored again when walking in the city.
