Sit near moving water for ten minutes. You don’t have to think anything deep. Just let your shoulders drop.

Moving water holds attention without asking anything of you. It is always changing and never surprising, which is a rare combination, and your mind can rest on it the way a hand rests on a rail. The point is a body that stops being braced, not an insight.

Find the nearest water that goes somewhere, a creek, a river, a fountain, a storm drain after rain. Sit for ten minutes with nothing to read. If your shoulders are up around your ears, let them come down and leave them there. Go back to the same spot once more this week.
