In a society that glorifies grinding, short-term gains and pushing to extremes, it takes guts to rest. - Brad Stulberg

Recognize what is happening. Allow life to be just as it is. Investigate your inner experience with kindness and curiosity. Note or practice non-identification, not fusing with what you are experiencing but rather viewing it from a larger perspective.

the brain rewards us with more dopamine for the act of seeking a reward than for the act of receiving one.

(Just imagine if a runner doing intervals on the track came to a complete stop to check her phone after each and every notification. The constant start-and-stop would certainly impair her performance.)
