Here's something I do without really thinking about it:
If I am watching a TV show, I find myself counting the syllables in the lines of dialogue. I will repeat a line that was just spoken in my mind, and count the syllables. It will bother me slightly if the syllable count does not end in with a multiple of ten before the character is through speaking and another one starts.
