Crushing fresh lavender between your palms and breathing in the calming scent. Noticing when all the birds choose a single tree to perch on and sing. Watching a slug leave a silvery trail behind and taking this as a reminder to slow down. Observing an older couple as they walk down the road holding hands. Taking off your shoes and socks, regardless of the weather, and squishing your toes into wet mud. Observing the clouds by day and the stars by night. Standing still, feeling your feet connecting with the land and remembering that you are part of the earth too.
