Do one routine task at half speed

Choose an everyday task and do it slowly on purpose.

Why it helps

Rushing creates tension. Slowing down one task may show how much hurry is habit rather than need.

How to do it

1. Choose a task, like folding laundry.
2. Do it at half your normal speed.
3. Notice what you see, hear and feel.
