Quotes to ponder:

"I breathed into my stomach and out my nose at a slow and controlled pace. Once I did, the thoughts started to subside as I focused less on them and more on my breath."

"With this physical stimulus gone, the only thing that remained was mental chatter, and there was a ton of it."

"Even if you just do it once a month, you can’t put a price on an hour of uninterrupted solitude - no voices, no text alerts, no email swooshes or people looking for you to do something for them."
