I was feeling overwhelmed.
Too much attention scattered in too many directions.

Then I tried something strange.
I didn’t try to fix the feeling.

Instead, I imagined myself becoming smaller.

First, I became a plane.
Like a smooth sheet of paper instead of the 3 dimensional me.
Reducing my space & staying there for a while.

Then I became a line.
No longer spread in every direction.
Just moving gently along a single path.
Narrower. Simpler. Quieter.

The noise began to soften.

Then I became a point.
No width. No length.
No story. No past. No future.
Just a single point of awareness.

And something shifted.

The overwhelm disappeared. It stopped filling the whole room. 

The thoughts became zero as they no longer occupied the space.
For a few moments, there was only stillness.

What I realised was this:
The mind often suffers not only because of what it carries, but because of how much space it gives to what it carries.

We expand problems.
Replay them. Rehearse them. Magnify them.
Until they seem larger than life itself.

This exercise gently reverses the process.

The next time your mind feels crowded, try it.
Stay with each stage. Notice what changes.

You may discover that peace isn’t something you need to find.

It’s something that appears when the noise has less room to grow.

When you imagined becoming smaller, where did the biggest shift happen for you – as a plane, a line, or a point?
