In this 12-minute "5-Senses Walk," we guide you through a mindful exploration of your environment, helping you see, hear, smell, and feel the world around you. 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: A step-by-step sensory scan of your immediate environment. How to use the world around you as a tool for mental focus. The relief of breaking the "thinking loop" by observing the tangible. How to get the most out of this walk: Pick a route with a lot of variety (sights, sounds, smells) to get the most out of the exercise. Don't over-analyze what you find; just note it and move on.
