2. Decide where you want to walk for a short distance of 10 minutes duration. It should be a safe location where you can focus on your mindful walking exercise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Start walking slowly. Concentrate on placing one foot after another, on the ground. This is your only allowed input for now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Look at the ground immediately in front of your feet. What do you see?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. When you’re comfortable with your immediate vicinity, you can look at the ground slightly ahead of your feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. What do you see? When you walk towards that piece of ground, do you see your view changing? Do the grass look drier or more lush?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. You should be paying attention to the ground at your feet, and slightly farther away from your feet. If you get distracted, gently return to your task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Continue walking in this manner for the rest of your 10 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. When you’ve reached your time limit, stop walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Take a deep breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Stretch your body to relax. ‘Your mindful walking is done. You can now walk back to wherever you desire, be it your home, your workplace, or somewhere else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mindful Walking on September 11 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
