Your hands touch hundreds of things a day and report back on almost none of them. Keys, door handles, the steering wheel, a coffee mug, the dog. Touch is the sense we use the most and notice the least.
Today, pick five things and touch them on purpose. Slow down for three seconds each. Is it rough or smooth? Warm or cool? Heavier or lighter than you expected? The sleeve of a sweater, the edge of a countertop, the bark of a tree and the cover of a book all feel completely different. You already knew that, but you have not checked in a while.
This is one of the fastest ways to get out of your head, because it is hard to worry about next week while you are paying attention to the texture of a dish towel. Five things, three seconds each. That is fifteen seconds out of your whole day.
