Mindfulness in Action: Slow Down 2%


Listen Later

In this Mindfulness in Action episode, we’re practicing patience in real time.

If you listened to last week’s solo episode, I talked about impatience, rushing, and how so many of us move through life like our self-worth depends on our productivity. This practice is about noticing that urgency in the body and gently turning the dial down.

You don’t have to cancel everything or suddenly become a completely calm person. This is about slowing down just 2%, enough for your nervous system to notice that you are no longer rushing. You are just moving.

I guide you through a simple walking meditation to notice your default pace, where urgency shows up in your body, and what changes when you soften, breathe, and move a little more slowly.

This is a practice for anyone who feels like they’re living in fast-forward mode and wants to come back to the present moment.
