Walk with a friend

Conversation changes side-by-side.

The deepest conversations with friends often happen face-to-face. But something changes when you walk and talk side-by-side. Your attention shifts to the world around you, and conversation ebbs and flows with your observations.

I find that walking and talking with a friend can take the pressure off difficult chats. Every friendship has moments when challenging words need to be exchanged. A gentle walk can make talking easier as you reach a new destination together.

Regularly walking with a friend can build long-lasting intimacy, too. You walk the same path, creating a storehouse of shared views and experiences. If you're looking for conversation starters, I recommend this list of 100 questions. So, who are you going to invite for a walk this week?
