This 12-minute guided walking meditation keeps going past them, widening what you notice until small ordinary things start counting too. You finish with a longer list than you started with and a steadier mood to match. 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 obvious things come to mind first and how to move past them. How following one good thing back to its source turns a single item into several. The shift in mood that comes from noticing more rather than noticing harder. How to get the most out of this walk: Walk somewhere with a little variety, since a changing view gives you more to appreciate. Say a few of them out loud if you are somewhere you can, which makes them land differently. 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.
