Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I’ll have something calm and settled going, then I get up and the second I re-enter the day it’s gone
• The calm I find on the cushion evaporates the moment I stand up and the day grabs me
• I calm down for a minute with my eyes closed, but the second I open them and step back into the room I snap right back into the same tight, tunnel-visioned reactivity
• The first thing I do awake is grab my phone, and by the time I’m out of bed the inbox and the headlines have already set my mood for me
• There’s never a single quiet moment
