7 Secrets Girls Should Know About Hiking

Do you sometimes take a walk in the woods and find it as exciting as doing the dishes?

When you put on your boots to go hiking, do you feel like your voice gets deeper and hair starts growing all over your body?

In short, do you feel like this activity isn't for you and forces you back to that era when women had to walk for hours to find food to feed their families?

Reading through the following text, you'll find plenty of good reasons to reconsider your point of view on the matter. My intention is to convince you that nature will make you more beautiful…

1.       Physical activity promotes sharing

Do you find that your boyfriend is sometimes pretty closed off and you'd like to soften his shell? Well, suggest going on a hike.

Even if he spent the last two days sulking because you forgot to iron his shirt, he'll forget about it real quick the minute he finds himself in front of a lake.

There's nothing like being in the woods to get back to basics and open up to sharing.

The last time I had a fight with my girlfriend, I suggested we go for a walk and let's say that by evening, the animal instinct had switched from aggression mode to reproduction mode…

2.      Hiking improves health and well-being

It's scientifically proven that the body needs movement to maintain its balance.

So, if you can't get into yoga because you feel like you can't progress,  walking is a perfect activity  to help you regain your health and find inner peace.

No matter what intensity you want to put into it, you go at your own pace, nobody rushes you and the results are only the direct consequence of your involvement. And nature - there's nothing more inspiring for recharging.

3.      No competition

Yes, in today's world,  you still have to work harder than your male colleagues to make your place in this competitive universe.

But I guarantee it feels good to have the opportunity to push yourself in an environment where it's possible to move without having to worry about what others think of you.

When you find yourself in nature, something magical happens and all your conditioning about performance loses its grip. There's only you, your rhythm and your current priorities that matter.

And you'll quickly realize that it's only in these conditions where you're being yourself that you can truly reach your full potential.

4.      You  can be stylish while being an outdoorswoman

If the lumberjack woman style doesn't inspire you much, you'll be surprised to see that the selection is increasingly adapted to women's needs in outdoor stores.

You'll also realize that comfort and good taste can be completely compatible and even complementary qualities.

There are often many artifices in today's fashion and outdoor clothing adapted to movement allows you to enjoy nature in all types of conditions.

An opportunity to be yourself and display your aspirations!

5.      Nothing is more romantic

Does your heart skip a beat when you see a sunset or rainbow above a skyscraper? You might have a fit of hysteria in front of a rainbow created by the movement of a waterfall at the top of a mountain with a sunset descending on it.

In nature, there are no limits to the beauty you can contemplate. And the most beautiful thing about it is that it's never exactly the same.

Nothing more exciting than nature's charms to make you feel like the most important woman on the planet, regardless of the partner you're with.

6.      Allows you to let loose

If you feel like you always have to be serious, which sometimes leads you to inhibit your body's impulses, well be assured that there's not a beaver that's going to be offended by the fact that you need to let out a fart while jumping over a stream.

Whether you need to laugh, sing, dance, cry or you have difficulty talking about your problems with other humans, well nature is an audience that will never heckle you.

A squirrel will never get tired of hearing your rant about the injustices you experience at work, neither will a tree. After all, what's important is that all these negative emotions come out of you.

You'll be surprised how liberating it is to confide in a form of life devoid of judgment.

7.      It makes you zen

The calm is already within you. But the frantic pace that governs the environment you live in leads you to give importance to lots of things that aren't really important.

Hiking in an environment stripped of modern conveniences will help you put certain things in perspective, which will allow you to review your life's priorities.

What's most fascinating about this activity is that all this operates within you without you having to make any effort.

The regular rhythm of walking, combined with nature's charms allows you to reconnect with that part of you that knows all the answers.

Nothing resists nature, it listens to you, guides you and rocks you when you need it.

And quickly with practice, you'll notice that the more you connect with nature, the more  it will take the place of your best friend in your life.

It will never let you down…
