There are cool things to see everywhere, many of them <a href=\"https:\/\/binarywords.com\/en\/2023\/09\/03\/azul-y-verde\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/binarywords.com\/es_es\/2023\/09\/03\/azul-y-verde\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blue and green<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most outstanding colour we saw, of course, was green; no wonder we live in the Emerald Isle. It was a stark contrast with our homeland, Extremadura, which gets so dry during the summer (and this summer in particular, unfortunately, not only dry but also burnt).  The blue hasn\u00b4t been very intense these days, with the sky as cloudy as it was most of the time, but we enjoyed it all regardless, coming across lakes and water streams, a little waterfall, and to top it all off, the sea. The more serious note was provided by the stone grey in castles and monasteries, and the touch of colour and joy, by the many flowers adorning the streets, the houses and the fields along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I said, fantastic place. Also because walking has a therapeutic effect, enhancing our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have to admit that I generally find it difficult to leave the house, especially during the winter, and also that I\u00b4m not a huge fan of nature and adventure. But once I\u00b4m out, I find that I love walking; it makes me feel so much better (which probably happens to everyone). So, knowing what I know, I look for strategies that help me get out even if I don\u00b4t feel like it, because I know that it will be good for me, and that I will be thankful for it in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even Seneca said it, several centuries ago:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>We must go for walks out of doors, so that the mind can be strengthened and invigorated by a clear sky and plenty of fresh air.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This school year, my goal is to keep a habit of going out for a walk every now and then.
