Architecture That Teaches Through Stillness
By gently slowing movement, architecture can encourage mindfulness without ever instructing it. A pause before entering a room or a moment of quiet within a corridor heightens awareness.

Waking this morning, it occurred to me that a gift I gave freshman year of college was historically terrible. There needs to be a statute of limitations on regrets.

"Let Them Theory" by Mel Robbins is a succinct re-packaging of letting go. Say "Let them", instead of owning the words and actions of others. Say "Let me" to yourself, to own what you can control -- the responses you choose to care for yourself, or to be generous within your current capacity.

From "Win The Inside Game" by Steve Magness. This. I've started to regularly "update my predictive systems" when reality keeps not conforming to the fantasy I had about myself or others.

Duck Meditation: close your eyes and visualize yourself as a mallard idly paddling in an undisturbed pond. Intrusive thoughts, self judgements, external pressure, all turn to drops of water that roll right off your back. The world is wet but you stay dry, floating effortlessly. Quack. #mindfulness
