She then encourages the listener to be aware of their environment, to appreciate the fact that they can walk and to be grateful for their body. Xiaolin then instructs the listener to feel confident and proud while walking; to be aware of their posture and to be conscious of their breathing. She then encourages the listener to be open-minded and to hear the sounds around them without judgment. Finally, Xiaolin encourages the listener to notice any changes they have experienced and to bring this awareness into their everyday life. This will allow them to make better choices and appreciate every moment.
