i've found that overloading myself with things to distract me from the thoughts i don't want to have only results in feeling more anxious and scattered. you gotta sit with the feeling and give it a chance to take up space in your body and be acknowledged. then u can address the way forward

agree!! it’s hard, but if you don’t mindfully take a minute to feel it it’s going to hit you when you’re not expecting it.

I've been growing into this recently. Learning to be okay with no inputs and no outputs. Eliminate distractions. Step away from the stress. Just for a few minutes at a time several intentional times throughout the day. Now I'm finding it bleeds into the regular parts of my day — waiting in life for something, walking into a crowded room, even a lull in conversation — the inner silence surfaces for just a moment. I'm definitely a beginner in this space.

helps me get back to trusting in myself, the universe, and the fact that love is everywhere. also an exercise in patience (otherwise i will burn my tongue on this apple spice chai) and a mid-work break to come back to myself
