Exercise types
Areas of practice.
Each exercise type addresses specific habits that affect your mental peace.
Speak less, and slower
Regulate your speech quantity, velocity, volume and tone. Speaking too much or too fast makes you more restless. Counterintuitive, but true.
The 5/7 breath
Practise the Contemplate 5/7 breathing exercise and others like it. Your breath directly affects your mental state.
100 steps a minute
Turn your walk into a mind fitness walk at 100 steps a minute. Walking too fast makes you more restless.
Moments of stillness
Practise moments of complete stillness through the day. In a world of constant motion, stillness is a superpower.
The Focus Dot
Concentrate deeply without distraction with the Contemplate Focus Dot exercise.
Every part of your day
Many more exercises cover your daily life. Every part of your routine can become mind fitness practice.
The hidden truth
Question cultural habits.
Many of these habits are purely cultural. Because you see everyone else around you do it, you do it too. You never question it. Now you will.
- Because you see everyone else around you do it, you do it too
- You never asked: is this making me more peaceful or more restless? Now you will.
- Freedom of speech shouldn't mean incessant speaking without purpose
- You will question other cultural habits too, asking whether they make you more peaceful or more restless
