Some mornings you are out the door before you have really arrived in the day. This 10-minute guided meditation gives you two simple anchors, the breath dropping lower into the belly and the ground meeting your feet, while the mind keeps jumping ahead to the meeting and the inbox. By the time you get where you are going, the day has started on your terms rather than on its own.

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 letting the shoulders, jaw, and hands go changes the walk before anything else does.

A way to let your breathing and your stride find each other without counting or forcing it.

What it does to a busy morning to quietly tell yourself you are here, one landing at a time.

How to get the most out of this walk:

Use your first walk of the day for this, even if it is only from the door to the car.

Keep the pace exactly what it already was; nothing here asks you to slow down.
