Today’s Excerpt:

Is there anything you have too much of?

Read these scenarios to imagine how you might feel with too much of something:

• Pretend you’re in a world where you can only move — you can never be still, even for a moment. How long can you last?
• Pretend you’re in a world where everyone can only be loud. How does it feel in your body after 20 seconds where everyone is shouting? Now pretend you’re in a world where everyone can only whisper as quietly as possible. You can only communicate by being right next to someone’s ear. How does that feel?
• Imagine a world where everyone can only play. What happens? What do your surroundings — your kitchen or your room — look like in 3 months of no cleaning?
• How about a world where everyone can only work. What would that feel like?
