Walk meditation
One technique that can be deployed virtually anywhere is meditating. When the full attention is drawn to proces of the walking without thinking, for example, about what still needs to be done or what’s happened, that is meditation. Be aware of every step taken, on the speed at which you run, the environment in which you run, the temperature, etc. Due to be aware of all aspects of walking in the area, there is no room for thoughts and the spirit to rest. From that calm situations and problems can be approached differently, compared to a situation with a lot of stressful thoughts.
