Walking, wheeling, noticing

In The Radiant Path Programme, self-care isn’t about doing more or doing things perfectly. It’s about finding small, supportive ways to show up for yourself in everyday life.


This month, on Spark our focus is on walking or wheeling as a form of self-care. Not as exercise and not as a target, but simply as a way to move, pause, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels accessible and kind.


Walking or wheeling as self-care


Walking or wheeling can offer a gentle sense of rhythm and grounding. It can help settle the nervous system, create space in the mind, and support a feeling of connection with the body.


This practice is intentionally flexible and inclusive. Walking or wheeling might look like a short walk or a longer one, moving indoors or outdoors, using mobility aids, wheeling, pacing, seated movement, or choosing stillness and rest when movement isn’t right.


There’s no expectation to move every day and no right way to do this. Listening to your body and energy is part of the practice.


Noticing, rather than measuring


In Spark, the focus isn’t on distance, steps, or time. Instead, the invitation is to practise noticing.

After walking or wheeling, you might gently reflect on how your body feels, your energy levels, or your mood and mental space. Some days you may feel like you have an abundance of energy. Some days you may not move at all. All of this is valid.


Tracking here is simply a way to build awareness over time, not a way to judge or assess yourself.


A gentle way to track, if you want to


Spark includes access to an editable walking tracker that you can use in whatever way feels supportive. It’s there as a quiet companion rather than a requirement.


You might use it to note when you’ve walked or wheeled, reflect on how it felt using the heart scale, or add a short word or observation. You’re equally welcome to engage with this practice without tracking at all.


Some people prefer to notice internally or reflect through journalling instead.


Self-care alongside reflection and rest


Spark is a free space within The Radiant Path Programme, offering gentle support through reflection and journalling prompts, meditation, and Yoga Nidra. The walking and wheeling practice sits alongside these, offering another way to support yourself through embodied, everyday self-care.


You’re invited to move between these practices in a way that suits your needs. There’s no expectation to engage with everything.


Community and gentle connection


Self-care doesn’t have to be done alone. As a Spark member, you’re also welcome to join our optional WhatsApp group, where you can feel quietly connected to others exploring these practices.


Some people share an emoji, a reflection, or a noticing from their day. Others simply read along and feel part of the community without posting. All ways of being there are welcome.


Consistency without pressure


Consistency doesn’t mean doing something every day. It means returning again when you can.

There’s no falling behind and no catching up. Just an ongoing invitation to support yourself in small, realistic ways.


Walking or wheeling in Spark is not about changing yourself. It’s about caring for yourself as you are.

Take what feels supportive. Leave what doesn’t. Move, pause, or rest in a way that feels right for you.
