The drive home ends, but the workday somehow follows you inside. This 11-minute guided walking meditation gives the leftover tension somewhere to go before you walk through your own front door. By the last block you arrive as yourself, not as whatever the job just made of 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:

Why the body keeps holding a workday the mind has already finished.

A simple way to name what is still with you so it stops running quietly in the background.

How the last few minutes of a walk can act as a door between two parts of your day.

How to get the most out of this walk:

Take the long way if you have one, and save the last block for the slowest walking of the whole route.

Leave the phone in your pocket so nothing from work gets a second chance at your attention.
