This is a beautiful essay, and the cornerstone of the work I do with my clients. What you're suggesting here is really profound work and leads many people to deeply fulfilling and meaningful lives.
Your post resonates a lot with me. Most of my friends describe me as hyperactive. I've never received a formal diagnosis, but in practice, it means I manage to squeeze a dozen completely unrelated activities into a single day. It's my way of staying distracted, I suppose.
Lately, I've realized that what I truly need is space — space to gain clarity, to understand why I fill my days like this. Is it because I need all of it? Or is it just a way to balance something I feel is missing?
I don’t have the answer yet. But I know this: my real challenge is making space for clarity.
Thank you for sharing, Emanuela. Totally relate to that.
I think our brain has changed / is changing due to the amount of choice, information and channels.
It's a vicious circle, the more we consume, the more they create. All these platforms grabbing our attention exist because of the demand.
Every scroll trains our brain but every pause retrains it.
I remember how it used to be years ago when my mind was clearer and the focus was sharper. We can create awareness, create distance and choose differently, one step at a time.
I share your core values. Fairness, respect and integrity are true to me.
I'm in, Maria
Super! Week two starts today and I'll give an extra prompt each day in the chat.

Very good article! I’ll have to read it again.
I’d like to share what I found, I think it complements what you say:
We don’t build an extraordinary life. We unbuild the obstacles that filter out the truth of ourselves.
True..
Thank you so much for contributing to this. Absolutely true, life is better in our own colours. Grateful to have you in this community, Papa.
