The Hum of 'Too Much' and the Path Back to Connection

There’s a particular hum to modern life, isn’t there? It’s the vibration of to-do lists and the quiet, persistent feeling that you aren’t doing enough. I’ve realized that the constant hum of “too much” in my life is actually my nervous system stuck in high activation, something I once treated as normal. Through Somatic Experiencing, I’m learning to ease that intensity with simple resourcing moments that help me return to my body and reconnect with myself. These small practices slowly rebuild my capacity to be present with myself and with the people I care about.
