Token is on a distinguished road
Default Goals reminder

Hello everyone!

A day ago I decided to start a 30-day trial which purpose is to lower the speed of my walking (My moving speed is really high, and I think, it brings some kind of rushing and hurrying component to my life, which I want to get rid of)
But almost everytime I walk somewhere I forget about my intention.
So I'm looking for a way to effectively remind myself about my goal. I've an idea of writing some words like "Slow down!" on my hand with pen, but I'm sure it is far not the best method.

Any suggestions?

stick a note on your door saying walk slowly, so that when you leave the house it is in your mind. and from then on, focus on your walking. feel it, stay present with it. it will probably become like a sort of meditation. when you notice your mind drifts from it, bring it back to it.

First of all I'd like to say that it is probably a healthy thing that you walk quickly. I'm assuming you aren't aerobically fast walking but just a nice brisk pace. However, I do think this is an interesting practice of your will.

My suggestion is to put a small pebble in your shoe that you can kind of stuck away under your toes if you walk slowly but will poke you if you walk quickly. That one will be a bit hard ignore.

Let us know what you decide to implement and how your trial goes.
