Slow-Down Therapy by Linus Mundy

19. Watch and listen to the night sky. It speaks.

20. Listen to the words you speak-especially in prayer.

21. Learn to stand back and let others take their turn as leaders. There will always be new opportunities for you to step out in front again.
22. Divide big jobs into little jobs. If God took six days to create the universe, can you do any better?
23. When you find yourself rushing and anxious, stop., Ask yourself why you are rushing and anxious. The reasons may improve your self-understanding.
24. Take time to read-the Bible, poetry, great books. Thoughtful reading is enriching reading.
25. Direct your life with purposeful choices, not with speed and efficiency. The best musician is one who plays with expression and meaning, not the one who finishes first.
26. Take a day off alone; make a retreat. You can learn from monks and hermits without becoming one.
27. Pet a furry friend. You will give and get the gift of now.
28. Work with your hands. It frees the mind.
29. Take time to wonder. Without wonder, life is merely existence.
30. Sit in the dark. It will teach you to see and hear, taste and smell.
31. Once in a while, turn down the lights, the volume, the throttle, the invitations. Less really can be more.
32. Let go. Nothing is usually the hardest thing to do-but often it is the best.
33. Take a walk-but don’t go anywhere. If you walk just to get somewhere, you sacrifice the walking.
34. When things are in chaos and you are in a frenzy, ask yourself; “What is right about now?” Chances are, you already know what is wrong.
35. Count your blessings-one at a time and slowly.
