Take.... Your..... Time.....

Dear Reader,

I have decided that it has been way too long since our last activity post from THIS DIARY WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE 2009.

I was browsing the pages and found a great way to start getting back into our weekly adventures and discussing them.

“Manana, Manana Week
This week do you bit to slow our society down. Our civilization is far too efficiency-minded. There are few tasks so important that they can't wait a few days for completion. Learning to relax and take your time will improve your life immeasurably – and probably delay your death. Others too will be grateful for the softer pace you impose.

Examples from the book

Walk slowly across pedestrian crossings.

Roll your tongue in your mouth seven times before speaking.

Drive at half the speed limit.

Object to planning applications.

Don't get your card out until you get to the cash point.

Postpone all appointments to next week.”

My suggestions as to what to do slower:

SEX, not everyone wants to have sex like a rabbit, be romantic. Tantric practices are interesting!

Eating, enjoy each piece of food that enters your mouth. Savour the flavour.

Writing, with each stroke of the pen/pencil think about the best way to perfect your printing/cursive writing. Lots of people appreciate when you pay attention to detail.

Picking your nose, enjoy it. It's a relaxing activity that you can do at least once a day and be at peace with what is building up inside your nose as you calmly remove it.

Those are just a few of my suggestions. If you want to write back with your comments or what you did slowly today, that would be fab.
