Our brains are relentless recorders, logging every argument, judgment, comment, and stressful moment – year after year. This endless archive becomes an arsenal, fueling obsessive thinking as the brain works overtime to “solve” problems. that overthinking? It hijacks your peace of mind and wrecks your mood.

Lately, I’ve been practicing something different: recording less – or not recording at all. Breathwork, especially breath holds, helps. Somehow, in those quiet moments without breath, the habit of non-recording begins. Also less weed! A quieter brain means less pain.
