A Guided Walking Meditation Series: Gratitude on the Greenbelt

Why Gratitude Matters in Nature

Gratitude practices help shift our brain’s attention away from stress and scarcity toward abundance and connection. When we pause on a walk to notice the green leaves, the steady flow of the river, or even wild blackberries, we’re rewiring our nervous system to feel calmer and more resilient.

How Nature Boosts Gratitude

Research shows that being in natural spaces increases positive emotions and decreases rumination. On Boise’s Greenbelt, gratitude becomes effortless—the river offers a steady rhythm, trees provide shade and beauty, and wildlife adds moments of delight.

The Takeaway

Walking with gratitude can anchor you in the present while building a more hopeful mindset for the future.
