Hi friends, welcome back to the show and welcome to our final slow practice of this week.

Today, for our self-care practice, in honor of slowing down, I want you to pick either a practice or an activity, something that you are already coming

across today, something that you're already planning or something that you know you're going to

end up doing regardless. And I want you to put some intention into slowing that moment down.

So something that you normally do, kind of going through the motions

without thinking too much about it or something that you tend to rush through because you just

want to get it done. I want you to pick a moment before it arrives, so intentionally choosing

it as a practice. And I want you to slow that

activity way down. So say if you know every single day when you come home from work, you go for

a walk with your dog. And maybe normally you are listening to a podcast or you're on your phone

looking at the screen, doing other things as you're walking or you're on your phone looking at the screen doing other things

as you're walking or you're just kind of doing that walk really quickly trying to get it done

so you can get back to the house and be done right so i want you to slow that walk way down

and i want you to think about before you do that activity, think about how you can actually slow it down.

What are some things you need to shift and change to get more present throughout that moment?

So if it is walking your dog, can you leave your phone at home?

Can you give yourself more space to actually do this thing? So

walking slowly rather than rushing to get back to the house, regardless of the weather,

can you dress for it so that you can actually spend more time outside? Can you be more present

during that walk and really feel each step that you

take and look around and look at the trees and the plants around you, see if there's some leaves

budding on the trees around you or maybe some birds or some animals that you can spot.
