This might be your most important post yet.

The insight that stillness isn’t just a nice-to-have but a survival skill in today’s overstimulated world really hit home. Especially this: “People have never been more psychologically taxed.” You can feel it in the air—everyone is buzzing, reacting, spiraling.

The “mental fasting” idea is gold. I didn’t realize how much I was outsourcing my thinking until I couldn’t solve a simple problem without reaching for a screen.

Thanks for reminding me that stillness isn’t laziness—it’s leverage. A calm mind doesn’t slow you down. It gives you range.

Stillness in chaos is a skill and a simple method like your suggested intentional breathing can be life altering. Good stuff as always
