Some days the commute ends and the workday does not. This 11-minute walking meditation uses the stretch between the platform and your front door to unload whatever you are still carrying. You get to arrive home as yourself, rather than as the last hour of your job.

Safety note: Keep your eyes open and stay aware of your surroundings. Your safety always comes first. Follow the audio only as far as it's safe to do so.

What you'll explore:

  • Why the walk home is the only real seam between two very different parts of your day.
  • How to name what is still running in your head without picking the whole thing back up.
  • The physical tells that the workday is still with you, and what it feels like when they let go.

How to get the most out of this walk:

  • Start the audio as you leave the station, not once you are already standing at the door.
  • If your walk runs shorter than 11 minutes, take the long way round and finish the episode.

Step Into Calm is a daily walking meditation podcast where each episode is a short guided meditation to help you build mindfulness, ease stress, and find calm, clarity, and focus in just 10 to 15 minutes a day.
