That's definitely a way to get several benefits at once, and I'm glad that walks help you in that way!
I used to go out for a couple of long walks a day while listening to audiobooks, which helped immensely... though recently I just end up feeling frustrated that there's nowhere to wander other than the same routes I've already travelled hundreds of times before, and my mind starts fixating on physical anxiety symptoms which build to the point of panic about some ridiculous imagined situation like wetting myself an hour from home and having to walk back in embarrassment.. or worse, I'll have some brain-related episode and just fall unconscious or something too far from 'safety'. Anxiety disorders are great, you know, I'd really recommend them to anyone.
Still, I should go out for more walks! I've only been managing maybe one 10-minute walk a week recently, so maybe I need to make a goal of improving that.
