Many individuals engage in work and political actions from a hyper-reactive and adrenalized state, leading to burnout or disengagement. This creates an unsustainable cycle of overexertion and depletion, where the quality of action suffers. Acknowledging that a relaxed body is inherently stronger can pivot our approach to engagement, suggesting that calmness fosters more effective action. Embracing a relaxed demeanor is crucial to cultivating resilience and efficacy in navigating chaotic times, and recognizing the lack of a manual for living through contemporary challenges underscores the need for new perspectives on action and rest.
