The Settling

The Practice

This morning, choose one worry you have been carrying into your weekends and deliberately put it down until Monday — write it on paper, close the paper, walk away. The mind cannot rest while it rehearses; the act of externalising tells the body it is safe to stop. Do something with your hands today that has nothing to do with the year's accounts. The ledger will still be there; you do not have to hold it every hour.
