Chapter 1: The Weight of Stress

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and I can certainly relate.

Currently, my situation resembles a chaotic whirlwind.

Despite my challenges—chronic health issues, divorce, and relocating internationally—I've found a way to cope with the stress that enveloped me.

Perhaps you can relate to this feeling of being constantly overwhelmed?

I tried numerous techniques such as meditation, walking, and mindfulness, but my stress levels remained stubbornly high.

I longed for an escape from the relentless noise of the world, yet I felt trapped.

However, a surprisingly simple action changed everything:

Just two quick taps on my device...

ACTION — (SWIPE TO AIRPLANE MODE, TURN OFF WIFI)

And just like that, tranquility descended.

The silence was so profound that I felt my shoulders drop significantly, and tension in my muscles eased away.

After this experience, I committed to a new routine.

From 7 PM to 9 AM, I established a peaceful sanctuary for myself, free from the distractions of emails, social media notifications, and phone calls.

Instead, I focused on activities that nourished my spirit—watching TV, reading, taking walks, cooking, and enjoying hot baths—all without interruptions.

This practice brought me immense joy.

• The duration of my sleep increased
• My anxiety levels diminished
• Muscle tension subsided
• Panic attacks ceased
• My mind felt clearer
• My resilience in facing life's challenges returned

All because of one incredibly simple method that I discovered by chance!
