Simplify an activity with too many instructions

Coordinating movement, timing, and breathing feels like too much to track.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Identify which instructions are essential for the ordinary activity and which were optional additions.
2. Ask for a simpler explanation or remove optional counting and coordination.
3. Try the simpler version within your existing comfort and guidance, or choose to stop.

An example

I can follow the ordinary task steps without adding a breathing count.

Reflect

Did simplifying reduce unnecessary demands?
