When to do it?
When to do it? As I said, anytime, anywhere. A few more possibilities: 1. Walking. Your own footsteps are an excellent metronome. One syllable per step. 2. Waiting. Look for any rhythmic visual cue around you. If you're in a crowded place where people are walking, pick out one person and use her steps, and then another. Or listen for a audio cue. A stimulating variant is to use non-regular cues. For example, in a park, let the random birdcalls serve. A bluejay squawks and you say and extend one syllable until another jay or a whatever speaks up. 3. Driving. 4. Jogging, obviously. I'd suggest one syllable every two steps. Then for a variation, one every three steps, and so one. 5. Going to sleep. 6. When you're bored. 7. Impatient (waiting for the McDonald's clerk to straigthen out the order for the family of ten in line in front of you). 8. Ill-at-ease (A party you're at only as a favor to your spouse). 9. Really uncomfortable. Saltlicks once helped me turn a 14-hour flight to China in a packed 747 at night into an at least partially rewarding experience. 10. In pain. There's pain, and then there's pain. It's worth trying, don't you think? 11. Doing yoga. |
