Chill
You know the feeling: that persistent tension in your jaw, the shallow breathing you only notice when you consciously try to relax, or the difficulty falling asleep even when utterly exhausted. We often push through these signals, convinced that constant motion equals progress, mistaking exhaustion for achievement. Dr. Mark Harper argues that true 'chill' isn't a distant vacation or a perfect moment, but a skill to cultivate within the everyday. This episode explores how to listen to your body's subtle cues – your inner thermostat – and intentionally weave moments of presence and pause into a busy life. It’s about changing your relationship with stress, not eliminating it, and finding quiet confidence in navigating demands by creating space for yourself, even on a busy Tuesday afternoon.
