Day 15: Sit Spot Practice

Sit outside 15–20 minutes.

Journal:

• What details did I notice that I usually miss?

  Set aside 15–20 minutes to practice a sit spot meditation outdoors. Choose a location where you can remain undisturbed and sit comfortably without engaging your phone or any external task. Begin with a few slow, steady breaths to settle your nervous system, then widen your awareness to your surroundings. Notice subtle details you might typically overlook—the layered tones of wind through trees, shifting light patterns, insect movement, distant sounds blending into the background. Observe without labeling or analyzing; simply receive the environment as it is. If your mind drifts into planning or distraction, gently return to sensory awareness. Afterward, reflect on what details you noticed that you usually miss and how sustained attention altered your sense of time, pace, or internal quiet.

  Mountain Reflection: When climbers pause along a ridgeline, they often see terrain that was invisible during the steep ascent. What becomes visible in your life when you stop moving and simply observe? What insights might only emerge when you allow yourself to be still within the landscape rather than rushing through it?
