This sound bite applies when you want to take a break from whatever you’re thinking about but don’t think you have a lot of time.
Simply begin counting to 30 taking one second between each number. As you count 1... 2... 3... 4... stay focused on only the next number and it will break your chain of thought that was on your mind.
While you’re thinking about the next number, watch your other senses become more active as you notice things you didn’t before.
During those 30 seconds of time, you may notice tree branches or grass blades blowing in the wind, at the same time you might feel a chill or warmth from the temperature, smell things in the air and hear birds and other sounds and then suddenly you reach number 30. Time seemed to slow down and you got a little break from your thoughts when you chose to stop, look and recover for a moment.
