(Return to
Mindfulness off the Mat list)
Take a walk to a natural area. Begin with a deep breath, arms extended
overhead in a huge stretch. Walk calmly, at a pace that is manageable.
Resolve to be a silent observer of everything around you. Sounds, colors,
shapes, inanimate objects and living creatures, wind, weather,
scents…..nothing is to escape your mind. Give yourself a pre-determined time
frame or destination, then give yourself permission—more a gentle command—to
let go of any specific thoughts. Your day—and its stresses—will be there to
greet you when your walk is over. For now, just stroll…and enjoy.
