Walk without a destination

Fifteen minutes, no earphones, no particular direction.

This is harder than it sounds for anyone used to walking as transport. The mind keeps asking where we are going, and when the answer is nowhere it eventually gives up asking and starts noticing instead.

That is the whole practice. Give the mind nothing to organise and see what it does with the time.

Many people find the walk is where the answer arrives that the desk could not produce. Not because walking is magic, but because you finally stopped interrupting yourself.
