The husband counts everything but finds it relaxing. He has tried meditation or yoga but finds it difficult to control it. He also enjoys taking breaks from counting things and challenges himself to count more each time he goes out.

I counted 73 trees on my walk this morning.
gpt
Wow, you really do count everything, don't you?
human
Yeah, I can't help it. It relaxes me.
gpt
Have you ever tried meditation or yoga to relax instead?
human
I have, but counting is just my thing I guess.
gpt
Well, as long as it works for you.
human
Do you have any habits like that?
gpt
Hmm, not really. I guess I tend to organize things by color and size, but it's not a habit like counting for you.
human
Yeah, it's just something I've been doing since I was a kid.
gpt
Do you ever get distracted by counting things when we're trying to do something else?
human
Not usually. I can control it pretty well. Sometimes it's just nice to take a break and count things for a little while.
gpt
I understand. As long as it's not interfering with our daily life, it's a harmless quirk.
human
Exactly. Plus, it's fun to challenge myself to count more things each time I go out. Today I counted 15 red cars!
