Mind Full, Hands Full: A Meditation for Overwhelm

October 23, 2026 · 12 min

Show notes

For when your mind is full and both hands are already carrying too much. You don't need to empty it. Just find a little more room.

About 12 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice and music underneath.

We start at your front door with your hands full of bags and boxes, each one something asking for your attention. Out into a crowded, noisy world that feels a bit like your mind, then onto a path into the countryside and a wide clearing. There you put things down one at a time and let the ground carry them for a while. Rest is not laziness. On the way back you only pick up what you need for the next small part of the day. You're not failing at meditation. You may simply be at capacity.

Treat me to a coffee, keep the podcast free, and get my Weekly Calm every Sunday. It is all on stevenwebb.uk
