Slowing down, following your breath, observing your surroundings. I feel like I’m constantly grabbing at things, substances, media, ideas, to distract me or comfort me— a common occurrence in our modern, overstimulating world. I’m trying to be better about just pausing, and moving with intention, making more informed decisions based on how I’m feeling in the moment, not just based on what I always do just for the sake of familiarity or habitual routines.
