I Tried TikTok’s Viral Colour Walk For 7 Days – My Review

For something that’s essentially one of our most basic human functions, there sure are a lot of different ways to walk. Rucking, Nordic walking, wellbeing walks, walking challenges – you name it, there’s a walking trend for it.

While I’ve long been a fan of the humble stroll, I must admit that my motivation to lace up my trainers when it’s grim outside can be low – but when I came across the viral colour walk trend while (ironically) mindlessly scrolling, my interest was piqued. I’ve long been a fan of the five senses grounding technique to calm my racing mind (in a nutshell, this is about bringing awareness to all of your senses to relieve stress) and the idea of a colour walk aligns well with everything I know about my nervous system – i.e. that distraction is a gift.
