How to Create a Healthy Walking Routine: Soft Girl Style
Cozy season is officially here and I’m soft-launching with the only way I know how: with a girly little glow walk, full of health and wellness tips, along with bonus tips of my own!
I’m easing into these colder months with the simplest, prettiest ritual: a soft girl morning glow walk.
If you have been with Well with Brielle for awhile, or even just take a look at some of our previous content, you’ll know that here we LOVE WALKING.
I believe it’s so underrated as a healthy way to move your body and get exercise.
Seriously!
You can literally walk almost anywhere, and if it’s safe- anytime too!
In this blog post, I’m sharing the soft girl ritual I use for daily walks and the health benefits that make it a non-negotiable part of my glow-up routine.
While I’ve highlighted the benefits of both morning AM walks and evening PM walks, again, I adore walks because anytime is literally perfect.
These walks always shift my energy, clear my mind, and remind me that the glow-up is built in tiny, gentle choices.
I’m sharing soft, feminine walking inspo.
This is my quick, grounding ritual to reset before the season gets busy.
Soft girl winter is officially loading.
Keep reading for my girly walking ritual and the health benefits of walking daily!
Why I Love Daily Walks As My Soft Girl Wellness Ritual
Walking is such a timeless form of self-care — gentle, grounding, and available anytime you need to shift your energy.
This simple practice has supported so many parts of my glow-up: regulating stress, sparking new ideas, easing tension after a long day, and helping me feel feminine and connected again.
Just 10–15 minutes outside can shift my whole energy and your mood overall!
I take glow walks when…
I need to move my body
After eating to help stimulate my digestive system and keep my energy high, not sluggish
I feel overwhelmed
I want to reconnect with myself
I need a cute moment alone
I want to spark ideas for my content or next glow-up move
Daily walks for wellness are quick, free, and instantly elevate my mood.
What small, gentle ritual helps you reset your energy?
Walking has always been one of the easiest ways to reconnect with myself.
It supports my mind, body, and mood without pressure — no specific speed, distance, or performance needed.
Whether I’m doing a casual stroll, experimenting with tai chi walking, or intentionally adding small strength moves like walking lunges or Romanian deadlifts into my fitness routine on other days, walking anchors everything.
Daily walks keep my glow-up journey intentional and gentle.
And the best part?
You can totally personalize your daily walks to hit on different dimensions of wellness based on what you need at that moment.
Let’s discuss how to set the vibe for your daily walks, especially if you want to switch up occasionally, so they remain fun and exciting.
Evening PM Walks
I love night walks or walks during the evenings when the sun is just setting.
There’s something magical and dreamy about stepping outside when the world is quiet — a cozy pink hoodie on, glossy, moisturized lips, just me, my thoughts, and the night air making everything feel clearer.
Of course if you do walk at night, know you are safe!
This can be a good way to unwind before bedtime and really bring a busy day to a gentle, relaxing close.
My PM Glow Walk Setup
Pink hoodie or zip-up
Fuzzy earmuffs (if it’s cold)
Phone on Do Not Disturb
A soft girl playlist
Lip balm + a little gloss
Mini crossbody bag tiny bag for keys + ID
Optional: hot tea in a cute to-go cup

How Can You Make Your Walk Feel More Feminine and Soft?
Walking can be styled, curated, and elevated just like any other soft-life ritual. You can turn a simple movement moment into something that feels romantic and grounding.
Think of it like a moving meditation where you:
breathe deeply
reflect gently
soften your shoulders
reconnect with your energy
walk at your own pace, no pressure
Check out these Well with Brielle guided meditations and yoga poses for ideas!
I especially love this 4-7-8 breathing technique because it’s highly effective for helping me ground myself, reduce anxiety, and it truly can be done anytime and anywhere. Think: times when you have to be quiet and/or physically still (maybe around others) or perhaps you’re driving and need to decompress before you arrive at your destination.
I love incorporating breathing techniques and different wellness tools into my daily walks.
To keep the walk super cute and girly, you can also pair it with a cute walking set, a pink tumbler, a calming playlist, or a weighted vest if you’re looking to build muscle and enhance your walk.
Adding intention always turns the walk (or any moment) into something magical.
How do you like to elevate your walks?
More Soft Girl Walking Ritual Ideas
Here are a few ideas to elevate your walk and make it feel extra dreamy:
Journal with your favorite color pen and a notebook
Grab your yoga mat and enjoy a flow
Try tai chi walking or mindful slow walking
Use a walking pad with incline if you’re moving indoors
Morning AM Walks
I also love morning walks - waking up early (or right on time aka when it feels right) stepping outside before the day really begins.
It’s a similar vibe as night walks (especially if the weather is chilly outside) — pink hoodie, fresh air, glossy lips, but warm cup in hand — like you’re walking into your next chapter feeling cozy and intentional.
Sometimes I will pair these morning walks with a yoga flow, meditation, or journaling.
Taking morning walks is one of my favorite ways to feel grounded, feminine, and a little magical as I set the tone for the day.
Why Morning Glow Walks Work
Hopefully AM routines are synonymous with Well with Brielle by now!
There is nothing better than using the morning to set the tone for your entire day.
Science also shows that for many of us our brain works best in the morning, so it’s optimal to be intentional, set the tone, and then prioritize your biggest lifts or most difficult tasks first.
Before I dive into my to do list, I like to practice gratitude whether it’s connecting with nature during my walks, or practicing affirmations as I stroll.
Morning AM walks are an easy, effective way to get moving in the morning and choose your vibe for the day!
I feel so energized and inspired after a morning walk and they do not have to take long at all.
I take morning glow walks when I want to:
Wake up softly, not rushed
Feel pretty, calm and intentional especially before a busy day
Get clarity for project ideas
Add structure to my daily wellness routine and self care rituals
Start the day feeling high value and calm
Walking daily is one of the softest way to regulate your energy for the whole day.

The cozy, softness season officially begins.
What I Reflect On During My Walk
Of course we are keeping the vibes dreamy, girly, short, sweet, and feminine.
My glow walks always become mini check-ins with myself.
This is a wonderful way to tap in with your emotional wellness and overall see what you need.
These affirmations are perfect to use while you walk, stop to journal or really anytime.
Here’s a list you can use on your on daily walks:
How I want today to feel
A soft intention for the day
Something I can let go of or want to release
A glow-up goal I’m moving toward this month
What I want this month/time in my life to feel like
A glow-up intention for the week
What do I want to attract
What am I grateful for
What energy do I want to welcome in
What pretty little moment can I create for myself next
What glow-up habit am I proud of right now
I like to think of it as ‘daily soft manifestation’.
It’s grounding but not heavy — very gentle, very feminine.
It’s perfect for the moment and future me!
More Mindful Moments to Reflect On While You Walk
Your walk can be a mini reset instead of a workout.
Well with Brielle hiking events historically incorporate many science-backed emotional wellness techniques and tools like journaling, and practicing mindfulness.
If you enjoy mindful movement styles, you can explore tai chi indoor walking, Japanese walking methods, or incorporating gentle mobility between steps.
A Cute Moment to Yourself
Sometimes the glow-up isn’t a full routine — it’s just a pretty walk that helps you reset the energy and get back to you.
If you try a glow walk this week, tag me so I can hype you up. Soft girl winter starts with small rituals.
Why Glow Walks Feel So Magical
Glow walks work because they’re flexible.
You don’t need a routine.
You don’t need a time slot.
You just go when your spirit needs a reset.
Every time I walk, it gives me a chance to:
reconnect with my body
calm my nervous system
spark new ideas
release stress
feel feminine, pretty, and present
It’s like a moving meditation — soft life edition.
Well with Brielle Tip:
Let’s quickly touch on how daily walking supports a few other dimensions of wellness.
I also love walks because it’s an easy way to spend quality time with loved ones and tap into your social wellness!
Bring a loved one, invite a friend occasionally, or make a new friend on your walk (be safe). It’s a light, but fun way to be social while getting your steps in.
In fact, walking or doing a habit with an accountability partner is also a science-backed way to increase your likelihood of adopting your habit, especially as a permanent lifestyle habit if it’s a part of your relationship dynamics or overall culture of the relationship.

Well with Brielle Tip/Bonus:
Try pairing your walking ritual with a bath ritual afterward — a warm bathtub moment, bubble bath, bath salts, or even a spa-like bubble soak.
Walking softens your energy, and bathing seals it in.
These two habits together create a dreamy, feminine wellness flow that’s perfect for these colder, cozy seasons.
How Does Walking Shape Your Glow-Up?
Walking doesn’t have to be about distance or pace — just presence. It’s one of the easiest ways to reconnect with your femininity, regulate your mood, and create a soft moment for yourself any time of day.
When paired with a calming playlist, a cute outfit, or a warm drink in your favorite tumbler, it becomes a whole aesthetic.
