Have you ever walked a labyrinth? It's a fun spiritual practice and you'd be surprised where you find them. Try googling "Labyrinths near me." There are a lot of ways to walk on, but here is what I usually do.
Book Excerpt
Tumbled People
I often pray out all the things that are bothering me as I wind my way toward the center of the labyrinth. When you get to the center—which takes a while, so don’t rush it—there is a God space. I think of it as the goal, or center, a place of union with the Divine. I like to try to leave my worries there. Then, on the way out, I think of all I have to be grateful for, and there are many things. This makes me a different person with a new perspective when I leave my burdens in the hands of someone bigger than me, and with the gratefulness for all my blessings on my mind.
