One of the more simple and grounding wellness trends lately, the Hot Girl Walk, couldn't be a better fit for the laid-back, carefree, and happy-go-lucky Enneagram Type Nine. So, what exactly does a Hot Girl Walk entail? Well, according to The Every Girl, you're going to need to set aside at least an hour of your day. Once you've hit the ground running — or rather, walking – it's time to give your mind a bit of a workout as well. Per the self-proclaimed "Creator of the Hot Girl Walk," a TikToker named Mia, there are only three things you should be thinking about on your walks: "things that you're grateful for, how hot you are, and things that you want to achieve."
Now maybe going for a walk doesn't seem like much (isn't a run better for your body?), but if you're a Type Nine, this earthy exercise in positive thinking is likely right up your alley. Walking in nature has been found to have a healing effect on the body and brain, per Health Journal. When out in nature, you're less likely to ruminate and spiral into negative thought patterns. Simply moving your body while taking in the views and sounds of the natural world can also improve cognition, memory, and immune health, according to Health Journal.
Now, walking in the woods may not sound too profound. But pair this with the positive affirmations of the Hot Girl Walk, and you've got an instant mood-lifting modality. You may have even heard of a similar concept and recent wellness trend: Forest Bathing. This essentially means taking an intentional and conscious walk in the forest and reaping the health benefits, per Global Wellness Institute.
