I can't overstate how important I think these sorts of habits are. A slow walk. A quiet meditation upon waking. In aggregate, they can really change your life. The problem is, these habits aren't easier to develop than any other. They take practice and time to become innate.

We "make time" for all sorts of destructive habits. I gave smoking hours of each day for a decade. Anxiety, worry, hurry, they'd run my life for more than that. Don't set out trying to replace them. Make it OK to be a few minutes later walking home; a few moments later to work. Make time for these good habits and the bad won't stand in the face of them.
