Hack 35 – Slow It Down

Learn the art of savoring something: choose a pleasurable experience and slow it down. Let’s say you’re taking a walk. Along the way, stop in your tracks and slowly take in a panoramic view of your surroundings. Pause to smell a flower or pet your neighbor’s dog. Stop occasionally to slowly breathe in the fresh air and feel it replenishing your lungs. Allow the scents of the season to revive memories of happy days in your past. Or spend a half hour truly listening to your favorite music, lingering in a bath, or massaging your partner. The point is to luxuriate in whatever activity brings you physical, mental, and emotional pleasure.
