Quick tips to bring calm to your step

Life is so busy for most of us and we often don’t have time to relax.  Mindful walking is a great way to de-stress while doing something that we all do.  

Mindful walking allows us to feel calm and in control again even for just a few moments.  It’s a great way to take time out without the pressure of sitting still and meditating.

You may like to make a special time to do your mindful walk in the morning or evening or just incorporate it into your daily walk to the shops or work.  If you have a dog, you might like to try some mindful walking as part of your daily dog walk.  This is a great exercise to teach children.

1 As you walk, become aware of your breathing.  Continue to breathe in and out steadily.

2 Be aware of how your feet touch the ground.  Notice what part of your foot touches the ground first and how it feels as it touches and leaves the ground.  

3 Become aware of your legs and hips as you move.  Do you feel any tension?

4  Become aware of your arms swinging as you walk.

5 Notice how the air feels against your skin.

6 Be aware of the colours and shapes around you.

7 Become aware of the smells around you as you walk.

8 Continue to be aware of your breathing and every sensation in your body as you walk.
