Ever watched kids in action? Their pure, unfiltered joy as they explore, run, and climb might just be the universe's best show. On trains especially, they morph into these energetic creatures, reminiscent of little monkeys, swinging from berth to berth. ππ§
This sparks a thought π‘. Deep within, aren't we all just a bit of that repressed monkey, itching for action and movement?
In the world of meditation, there's a practice of sitting in stillness. π§ββοΈ This isn't merely a restraint of the body. It's a dive deep within, to detach, observe, and maybe, just maybe, understand that restless primate in us.
But hereβs the real question π€: Why the perpetual rush? Some are by naturem some by stimulants βπ« Iβve felt it β that jittery sensation, the restless legs, the spiraling thoughts with consume more than 1/8th teaspoon, because only recently coffee is back in my lifestyle. If unchecked, and not mindful, this physical unrest weaves itself into our mental fabric, crafting a tapestry of anxiety.
This dance between body and mind? Itβs intimate and intricate. One leads the other, twirling in a never-ending waltz, underscoring the importance of balance and understanding. πβ€οΈ
For many, particularly our cab drivers or delivery heroes, speed isn't just a state; it's survival. Their clock ticks differently, each second echoing the rhythm of livelihood. πβ°
