A meeting, a message, a person - something today got under your skin, and you are still buzzing with it. This 12-minute guided meditation finds where the frustration is sitting in your body, vents some of it through hard exhales and a brisker early pace, and steps you out of the loop where you keep building the case. You come back able to still be annoyed about one thing without handing the rest of your afternoon over to it.

Safety note: Keep your eyes open and stay aware of your surroundings. Your safety always comes first. Follow the audio only as far as it's safe to do so.

What you'll explore:

• Why frustration is physical first, and the places in the body it tends to settle.
• How a long, audible exhale gives the charge somewhere to go instead of somewhere to sit.
• The mental replay that feels productive and mostly keeps pouring fuel on the fire.

How to get the most out of this walk:

• Start a touch brisker than usual, then let the pace ease off as the heat comes down.
• Pick a route you do not have to think about, so your attention can stay on your body.
