Today is Slow Down Day

I'll admit, I'm not the most patient person.
Apparently the Book "The Power of Patience: How to Slow Down the Rush and Enjoy More Happiness, Success, and Peace of Mind Every Day." Author M.J. Ryan offers seven exercises to help you slow down and enjoy life to the max:
  • When you find yourself tensing up, go on a mental vacation! Visualize yourself in a place you find relaxing.
  • Enjoy the experience. Whatever it may be!
  • If something irritates you, find an easy way to fix it.
  • Use the pebble-in-the-pocket trick. When you start to feel irritated, move a pebble from one pocket to the other to interrupt the anger cycle, which will give you a chance to regroup your thoughts and emotions.
  • Ask for help. Swallow your pride and ask!
  • Use inspirations to keep you inspired and patient.
  • Encourage others to be patient, too. Instead of grumbling, strike up a conversation while standing in line. Time will fly and you may meet someone interesting.
