Trouble sitting still? Learn to practice meditating by simply walking in this practice guided by 10% Happier host Dan Harris. **How To Do This Practice:** 1. **Start walking** at a comfortable pace in a place where you can move without rushing. 2. **Notice your body** moving by paying attention to your feet, legs, and arms as you walk. 3. **Tune into your senses** by observing sounds, sights, temperature, and other details around you. 4. **Notice when your mind wanders** into planning, worrying, or distractions. 5. **Gently return** your attention to the sensations of walking and your surroundings each time you drift away. 6. **Keep walking with curiosity** and allow yourself to stay present without needing to do it perfectly. _Scroll down for a transcription of this episode._ **Today’s Happiness Break Guide:** DAN HARRISthe host of 10% Happier, a podcast about mindfulness and other practices and thoughts that can support our well-being.
