If you’re looking at a screen, make it intentional (a movie, a specific game). Random scrolling spikes cortisol; chill is about lowering it. 4. Low-Stakes Activities
Switch off the "big lights" (overhead LEDs). Use lamps, fairy lights, or candles to create a soft, warm atmosphere.
If you aren't physically comfortable, you can't be mentally chill. Wear the oversized hoodie; grab the heavy blanket. 3. The Digital Boundary
If it won't matter in five years, don't spend more than five minutes being upset about it.
Sometimes you just need to lie on the floor for 10 minutes. It grounded, literally and figuratively.
Being chill isn't about being lazy; it's about being unbothered.
