What is awe walking?
short by Dharini Mudgal / on Sunday, 4 January, 2026
An "Awe walk" is a mindfulness stroll where attention is directed outward, not inward, Forbes reported. Unlike other walks, an awe walk focuses on observation rather than speed or distance. Dacher Keltner, a psychology professor, said awe calms brain areas linked to self-focused thoughts, like worries. It activates vagus nerve, which helps regulate the body and supports overall well-being.
