Your mind comes with a built-in negativity bias, always scanning for what is wrong or missing. This 15-minute guided walking meditation works with that instead of against it, sending you looking for particular, ordinary, good things: three things that are alive, something in motion, a color you would have walked straight past. Nothing about your circumstances changes, but where you point your attention does.
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 vague thankfulness floats away while one weed in a sidewalk crack lands.
- A short series of searches, from what is growing near you to what somebody made or cared for.
- Turning that same attention on your own legs, breath, and eyes near the end.
How to get the most out of this walk:
- Walk somewhere ordinary, since the point is finding all of this on your regular route.
- Take your time with each search and let yourself actually look before moving on.
