Walk n' Talk

A THRIVE Event

Exercising and adding a little movement to your day doesn't have to be overly strenuous. So, let's Move with THRIVE and this time it's for with our Walk n' Talk - this is a chance to get in some gentle movement and socialise with others, if you so choose. Walks will be 30-45 minutes long, and if you need to take a break or call it a day early, you're more than welcome to!

All THRIVE events and activities are set up to align with the PERMA model of positive psychology and are designed to meet at least TWO of the model's five core elements of wellbeing: Positive Emotions; Engagement; Relationships; Meaning; and Accomplishment.

Here's how this activity meets the model:

POSITIVE EMOTIONS

A stroll around the area can bring about feelings of joy, and can also be a chance to get your brain and body to relax. This is a moment just for you. No scrolling as you walk, we'll be looking up and taking in the city. Maybe you'll see it with a new perspective.

RELATIONSHIPS

Talking whilst walking can take the pressure off socialising, especially as you'll have something to do with your body and it doesn't ask for prolonged eye contact. Maybe you'll come away from this experience with a new friend, or a conversation you've never had before, or even just a laugh.

ACCOMPLISHMENT

By doing this walk/stroll/roll, you're giving yourself the time to take care of yourself. That's a win. A walk may not sound like much to some, but it's a proven way to help maintain one's physical and mental health. You should feel proud of yourself by the end.

The Details

Where? We'll meet at Senate House reception, in the South Block, and explore the Bloomsbury area at a leisurely pace. We'll return to Senate House by the end, but feel free to drop off where is most convenient to you.

When? Thursday 29th October  - we'll meet at 4:30pm and set off by 4:35pm. Dress comfortable and check the weather beforehand. Bring a bottle of water too, and wear shoes you like to walk in.
