James Warner: The Benefits of Hiking
****
This article
examines the positive factors of hiking. The author of the article spends a few
times a week on a trail and explains how simplistically it can change your
life.
James Warner
goes hiking twice a week locally and makes destination trip for hiking every so
often. He explains that when a person is on a hiking trail they can leave
everything that has to do with work, school, friends, complications, and
thoughts behind. James talks about how things seem clearer on the trail and it
is easier to make decisions. He also talks about how hiking can change you
emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Another thing James talks about in
the article is that when you are around nature you can appreciate it more. Lastly,
he talks about how hiking can mend relationships. It is something that can be
enjoyable to do with family and friends. Overall this article is very positive
and shows that hiking is something that should be incorporated in everyday life
for everyone.
All of this
information stood out to me because I enjoy taking nature walks to forget about
the rest of the world with homework and jobs, along with using them as a time
to exercise and clear the mind. I spend a lot of time each week inside and
outside of school exercising. It is really important to me to get that amount
of exercise. During the article I was thinking about autumn and how it is
coming so fast. I think autumn is the best season to hike in because everything
looks so nature enriched with all the colors changing. I learned from this that
I should be taking more walks as this school year starts up. It will give me
time to clear my mind and appreciate the seasons and the nature around me,
along with make decisions with a clear mind. My behavior is about to change
because I have taken a different look on hiking through James Warner’s eyes and
it has shown me that there is more to taking some time to take a walk on a
trail or a mountain. I am going to go for a walk through the woods after school
today because I am looking forward to the experience that was described in this
article.
