Have you been hard on yourself this week? That critical voice keeping score of everything you got wrong actually believes it is helping, and this 12-minute walking meditation gently shows it what it costs instead. You will try the one question that resets your tone, soften the tension it leaves in your body, and offer yourself a few plain words. You finish talking to yourself roughly the way you would talk to someone you love.
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 critical voice believes that being tough on you will make you better.
- The one question that resets your tone, borrowed from how you would treat a good friend.
- How kindness tends to come before doing better, rather than as a reward for it.
How to get the most out of this walk:
- Keep an easy, unhurried pace, since there is nothing here to accomplish or get right.
- Say the few simple words out loud if you are somewhere private enough to try it.
