Random moment of quiet mind

[TransistorBass]

I should have had today off work for Easter Friday & Monday bank holidays, ended up doing a load of work at some business premises we are renovating.
Sat outside for lunch eating pastry based things from the UK's premiere high street shop Greggs, drank my Dr Pepper and stared blankly at my surroundings, to my surprise there was NOTHING going on in my head just stillness, quiet and calm in the sunshine.

I wish I could get that sort of stillness in Yoga etc.

Makes you believe that hard work is key to a quiet mind.

What was the dose of Dr Pepper? Sounds promising

Jokes aside, I'm glad you could have a moment like that. They seem to come out of nowhere. But your yoga and your other practices may have contributed to it appearing as well. Also, not deciding to use a phone to fill a moment of nothing to do.

I wish that was true for me. I routinely work 10 to 18 hours a day 365 days a year.

There's still plenty in my head but it's like I have dementia after a couple days of this. My thoughts are scattered and I cannot name common objects in my environment.

But I literally pass out hard within seconds of my head hitting the pillow. Though I do wake up in the middle of the night due to issues like pain it is a blessing to be able to very easily fall asleep every single night of the year.

I admire what you have achieved as it does seem to be part of the path to what folks call enlightenment.

Sure it wasn't the beginnings of a lard-induced coma from your Greggs products?

But seriously, maybe it was a moment of gratuitous grace from the universe, although a reasonable level of physical exercise is known to have beneficial effects on mood so your hypothesis seems plausible.
