When the world feels loud, your brain tries to stay on watch—scrolling, checking, absorbing, bracing. In this episode, Setting the Noise Aside (Part 3 of When the World Is Too Much), we’ll practice a gentle way to step out of the mental static without ignoring what matters.

You’ll be guided through a short calming practice, then asimple art journaling page to:

• identify the kind of noise that pulls you in
• notice your “too much” signals
• create a pocket of light,
• and map more than one path back to steadiness.

No perfection. No fixing. Just small steps back toyourself—one dot at a time.
