Decompression walk
15 minutes after 6 pm to lower mental load.
Our modern days rarely leave a true space between “doing” and “being”.
The decompression walk is that quiet airlock that brings the body back to itself.
Fifteen minutes of movement are enough to dissolve mental noise, reset your breathing, and set up the evening in a different state.
The protocol
- When: ideally between 6 pm and 8 pm, after your last mentally demanding task.
- Duration: 10 to 20 minutes are enough.
- Pace: slow to moderate walk, fluid breathing, gaze into the distance.
- Environment: outdoors, in the fading light.
- Tip: set your phone to aeroplane mode or play a calm playlist.
What you feel
The body relaxes, the mind clears.
It’s a bridge between your “active self” and your “vital self”.
You ruminate less, sleep better, and recover mentally faster.
In practice, it’s a free, physiological reset for the nervous system.
🌆 The evening walk is not effort, it’s a transition.
It teaches the body to quieten so the mind can breathe.
