Would you ever talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself? This 12-minute walking meditation is for the days when the inner critic gets loud, offering a slower pace and a kinder voice to walk alongside. You practice noticing a harsh thought without believing it, and letting it carry on past you.
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 to watch your own thinking without grading it.
- Gentle phrases you can repeat in time with your steps to loosen the grip of self-criticism.
- What it feels like to keep yourself company rather than keep score.
How to get the most out of this walk:
- Walk at the unhurried pace you would keep if you were strolling with someone you love.
- When a critical thought shows up, name it quietly and let it drift off like a cloud.
