Some days follow you out of the building. This 10-minute guided walking meditation walks the workday off you a piece at a time, so the tension does not come through the front door with you. You arrive home as yourself, rather than as the last two hours of your job.

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 naming what is still sitting on you takes some of the weight out of it.
  • A way to set down the parts of the day that are finished with you but not yet gone.
  • The physical signs the workday is leaving, from loosening shoulders to a slower jaw.

How to get the most out of this walk:

  • Walk this between work and home, even if that only means one lap around the block first.
  • Leave the phone in your pocket for the whole ten minutes so nothing pulls the day back in.

Step Into Calm is a daily walking meditation podcast where each episode is a short guided meditation to help you build mindfulness, ease stress, and find calm, clarity, and focus in just 10 to 15 minutes a day.
