🗺️ Psychogeography: How Places Make Us Feel 🧠⚡️ Have you ever noticed how a particular street makes you feel calm, how a busy city center energizes you, or how an old neighborhood brings back memories? That's the idea behind psychogeography, the study of how our surroundings influence our emotions, thoughts, and behavior. Every place has its own atmosphere. 🌆 🌿 A quiet park can help you unwind. 🏙️ A lively street can spark your curiosity. 🏛️ An old neighborhood can make you feel nostalgic. 🌊 A walk along the waterfront can clear your mind. And the interesting part? You don't always need to travel somewhere new to experience something different. Sometimes, all it takes is choosing a different route. That's one of the things I love about using #STEPN. Walking isn't always about speed, distance, or reaching a target. It's also an opportunity to explore your surroundings, discover new places, and notice how different environments make you feel. This weekend, try changing your usual route. Walk through a different neighborhood, explore a quiet street, or visit a place you've never been before. You might discover something new about your city, or even about yourself. 🚶‍♂️✨

🏃 Should You Run or Rest When You Have a Cold?🤧 I've caught a pretty bad cold, and I'm currently wondering how I'm supposed to complete my #STEPN sessions. 😅 It made me look into whether we should actually run or rest when we're sick, so I thought I'd share what I found. Maybe it'll help someone else too. A simple rule many doctors recommend is the "below the neck" rule. 👃 If it's only above the neck If you only have a runny nose, stuffiness, or sneezing, it's generally considered safe to do an easy STEPN session. Light exercise can even help temporarily clear your nose thanks to adrenaline acting as a natural decongestant. 🤒 If it's below the neck If you have any of these symptoms, it's better to rest: 🔹Sore throat 🔹Chest congestion 🔹Persistent cough 🔹Body aches 🔹Chills 🔹Fever 🔹Vomiting 🔹Swollen glands Your body is already working hard to recover, and pushing through can sometimes turn a mild illness into something more serious. 💚 If you decide to move Keep it easy and short. Stop immediately if you feel dizzy, nauseous, unusually sweaty, or your heart rate feels higher than normal. A few missed days won't erase your fitness. 🔄 Coming back Once you're fully recovered, wait about 24 hours after your symptoms are gone before getting back into training, especially if you had a fever. Start with shorter, easier sessions and build back gradually. I've always been on team "don't break the streak," but I guess recovery is part of the journey too. Sometimes the smartest move is simply letting your body recharge. Stay healthy, touch grass when you can, and take care of yourselves. ❤️🤧 Hope you're all having a great weekend!
