Tids and Bits

Sitting can be so relaxing. Why is it so bad? But what happens when you spend too much time sitting?

Humans are a daydreaming species. According to a study by Harvard psychologists, people let their minds wander 47% of the time they are awake. 

We’ve been told to silence the inner critic that voice whispering we’re not good enough, not ready, not worthy. But most of us know that doesn’t work. When the voice returns, we shame ourselves for not being stronger, more confident, more “leader-like.” And just like that, we spiral.

We’ve all heard the saying “Laughter is the best medicine.” Humans naturally love to laugh. The average adult laughs 17 times a day, and it’s not just about fun or being lighthearted. There’s strong evidence that laughter truly improves health and helps fight disease. It balances the immune system, boosts the body’s ability to fight illness, and acts as a powerful stress reliever.

Frida Kahlo, Beethoven, Reagan, and Maya Angelou all drank copious amounts of coffee every day. Coincidence?

Coffee is as much a part of the work environment as computers; many people consider their first cup of coffee at work as the apex of their day.

In a world often divided by differences, what holds the potential to bridge the gap is not uniformity of thought but the ability to engage in meaningful conversation. A culture of dialogue is one where listening is as valued as speaking lays the foundation for connection, progress, and understanding.

So many of us are becoming busier, more stressed, more addicted, and more unwell. We feel disconnected and far away from ourselves. And we’re looking for ways to release the pressure valve, to find a sense of center- a sense of calm.

In a world that glorifies hustle, urgency, and relentless motion, stillness is often overlooked—mistaken for idleness or weakness. We’re constantly encouraged to stay busy, to respond quickly, to push through discomfort, and to fill every silence. But what if the clarity we crave, the insight we need, and the strength we seek live not in the noise—but in the stillness?
