In childhood, movement is brain development. A child who runs, jumps, and climbs develops cognitive functions faster. Movement is learning.

At the office, get up. Take a walk. Drink some water. Look out the window. This isn’t “wasting time.” It’s an investment in productivity. Research shows that concentration increases by 25% after a 5-minute walk.

Make steps part of a ritual: a 10-minute walk in the morning, 15 minutes after lunch, and 20 minutes in the evening. Count your steps not for statistics, but as a moving meditation. Breathe. Listen. Look. Being here is health.

The tenth principle: your body doesn’t require intensity. It requires consistency. You don’t need to be a hero. You need to be consistent. Walk. Move. Breathe. Live.

10,000 steps is not a goal. It’s a journey. And it leads to a life—long, clear, and free from disease.
