Common steps and sub-activities
Dogged walking
A long walk with your head down looking at the path or road, in which you are plodding along not really thinking about anything can produce results. Walking on a treadmill at a gentle pace can achieve the same effect – a trance condition.
As long as you keep up a steady rhythm to your steps, and look down so that you have nothing to stimulate your mind, you are calming the mind and giving the memory and learning functions nothing to do.
It helps if the scenery is totally uninspiring or completely monotonous.
If you are in a gym look at the wall not the TV screens or look down at the treadmill.
