Some minds do not walk, they plan. This 10-minute guided walking meditation gives the planning part of you somewhere to set the list down for a while, using your steps and your breath as the thing to hold onto instead. Nothing on that list disappears, but for ten minutes you are not the one carrying it.
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 planning mind speeds up the moment it senses you are trying to quiet it.
- How steps and breath give a busy mind something concrete to hold instead of a list.
- What happens to the urgency of a task when you refuse to rehearse it for ten minutes.
How to get the most out of this walk:
- Write down whatever is nagging at you before you leave, so your mind is not guarding it.
- Let the list come back when it comes back, and return to your steps without arguing.
