A simple starting point
Brief enough to be tolerable. Five or fifteen minutes is enough to start.
No phone, no media, no manufactured tasks. Simply being.
Notice the urge to escape. Notice what happens if the urge is not immediately gratified.
The discomfort peaks and then subsides. This is the discovery.
What was unbearable becomes workable. What was workable becomes valuable.
Not permanent retreat, but the capacity to oscillate freely between solitude and engagement. Neither pole is sustainable in isolation.
You are not the thoughts that chase through the mind when busy life pauses. You are what remains when these settle.
