What It Builds
Attention, calm, and sensory awareness. A gentle way to reset big feelings through movement rather than sitting still.
How to Do It

Head outside or walk slowly around a room.
- 2
Walk at a relaxed, slower than usual pace.
- 3
Notice how each foot feels as it lifts and lands.
- 4
Take turns naming what you notice with each sense.
- 5
End by standing still and taking three slow breaths.
Tips & Variations
