Gen Z's take on wellness and boredom
If there’s one good thing that came out of 2020's Quarantine, it’s the trend-setting, internet-dominating popularization of the Hot Girl Walk.
Not just a standard stroll around a park, the Hot Girl Walk came at a time when people craved an escape - a release of the body and mind-crippling stresses that each day brought. Following in the footsteps of what seemed like almost impossibly-happy girls on TikTok, I set out for an hour on the town; my Nike socks well-adjusted and shoes crisply tied.
And I am oh so happy I did.
Writing as someone previously known to roll their eyes at even the thought of walking to school, I can confidently say my daily walks have changed my life. The time spent outside allows my mind to wander. Not to anxieties and dark places, but to creative ideas I previously was too anxious and clouded to acknowledge I craved. Much of this is thanks to my other newfound love, though: Podcasts!!
At this point, everyone and their mother knows podcasts are more than just true crime and education. Self-help, book-talk based, influencer-owned, and virtually anything else you can want is available on some sort of podcast. Personally, the repetition in music sometimes distracts me from walks, making the constantly changing cadence of podcasts my secret weapon.
Below I have curated a recommended calendar of potential podcasts to accompany you guys wherever life brings you! Topics and categories vary drastically, so take a look…I tried to give something to everyone!
