Original Advice
“DO: Schedule quiet recovery time after big feelings.”
Power Down After Big Feelings
Big feelings hit like weather. You pretend you can keep working through the thunder. You grind. You overdo. Then you wonder why the floor tilts. Stop acting shockproof. Your body is the bell; emotions strike it. The ringing needs air. Put it on your calendar. Close the door. Power down. Let the echo resolve before you lift another thing.
Rest isn't indulgence; it's maintenance. Like letting bread rest, the gluten relaxes and structure holds. Silence allows your senses to catch up, your stance to re-root. If you skip it, resentment ferments. Your patience cracks, your voice sharpens, your appetite owns you. Schedule recovery the way you water plants: same time, same corner. Ritual makes calm repeatable.
Cosmic Context
