Get Slow

Leave your watch on the bedside table.

Check email only twice a day.

Take the scenic route.

Light candles before you start to cook dinner.

Make up rituals.

Say a silent word of thanks and make eye contact with everyone at the table before you start eating.

Make a handmade present for a friend.

Set aside private time every day, give yourself permission to just be.

Spend as much time as possible outdoors in natural settings.

Pay attentiom to the cycles of the moon and the changing seasons.

Sit for a moment with your eyes closed before you turn on your computer.

Take a few moments before you climb out of bed in the morning to remember your dreams and think about what you want from the day.

When your cellphone rings choose if you want to answer it.

Factor in extra time when estimating how long something will take.

Always jump at the chance to play with a child.

Create a garden and spend time seeing all the changes.

Never pack your schedule so tight that there is no room for a short walk.

Take a left where you generally take a right.
