Summary

In this episode of A Little Zen, A Little Mess, Seema reflects on one of the quietest crises of modern life: We no longer know how to sit still. From endless scrolling and constant stimulation to the fear of boredom and silence, this episode explores how distraction has slowly replaced presence — and why many of us feel exhausted even while being endlessly entertained. Because maybe happiness isn’t found in more noise, more content, or more productivity. Maybe it’s hidden in the quiet moments we keep trying to escape. Learn more about your ad choices.
