Some arguments follow you out the door. This 11-minute guided meditation gives the conflict somewhere to go, using your steps and your breathing to take the heat out of it before you decide what to say next. You get to come back to it with the problem at the size it actually is.
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:
- How walking gives a heated argument a place to move instead of a place to sit.
- A way of replaying the conflict that separates what was said from what you made it mean.
- The shift from defending your side to seeing the other person as someone who also had a hard day.
How to get the most out of this walk:
- Walk a familiar route so your attention can stay on the conversation in your head rather than on directions.
- Save any texting or calling until after the walk, when the reaction has had time to cool.
