Pace Box
Deeper perception while trodding on balls. | |
In your study, a recessed rectangular pit, walled with strong magnets and filled with stainless steel balls. One meter wide, it can be three meters long, or longer.
Can't think? Stressed? Wondering what she'll say? Plotting revenge? White lies on a tax return? Charity ball seating assignments?
Get
out of your seat, and pace back and forth on hard metal balls. As you pace, you will slowly wear a trough and sink into the floor. Eventually you might even touch the cold, flat, bottom of the pace box -- by then you will definitely have your answer. Step out of the box, sweep all the magnetic balls back level in the box, and return to your seat.
This can also be done with sand, but for the cats and carpet.

stainless steel is not atracted by magnets, I don't think. |

There are different grades of stainless steel, some are magnetic [see link]. |
|
| |
Specifically, non-austenitic stainless. |

The internet is a small world. I was looking at that very page - in a totally unrelated endeavour - just yesterday. |
