During these times of social distancing and quarantining, it’s never been more important to refresh with a walk outside. Even just a 10-minute stroll around the block can significantly improve your mental health and it gives you the change of scenery you need. Walks around the neighborhood have gotten brighter from the #chalkthewalk movement. People are sending positive, heartwarming messages and pictures for their neighbors by using sidewalk chalk to decorate sidewalks and driveways.
The movement is simple, it’s all about helping people remember that they are not alone during this difficult time. To be part of the movement, all you have to do is get a tub of sidewalk chalk and start decorating your pavement. This also happens to be a great activity you can do with your kids and it teaches them the importance of looking out for others.
You can even add a thank you message to people who are still working like mailmen, bus drivers, delivery people, and healthcare workers!
