When living day to day with a life limiting condition, many people and their loved ones report feelings of anxiety, stress and tension. It's often described as a ‘constant chatter in the head which is difficult to control’.

Take time as you walk. Feel your feet in contact with the ground, notice the weather around you, the different smells, what you see, what you can hear. When you notice that your awareness has drifted off into thinking about something other than your walk, simply bring your attention back to the contact of your feet on the ground.
