There is a point in most afternoons where your thinking goes thick and slow. This 16-minute walking meditation uses movement, breath and daylight to lift that fog, waking your body up first and letting your attention follow it. You come back to your desk with the second half of the day still worth something.
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 a slow start followed by a brisk stretch works better than pushing hard from the first step.
- How fuller breathing and a lifted posture change your alertness within a few minutes.
- What daylight and a change of scene do for a mind that has been staring at one screen for hours.
How to get the most out of this walk:
- Get outside for this one if you possibly can, since natural light is doing real work here.
- Leave the phone in your pocket and let the walk be the only thing on your schedule for sixteen minutes.
