How do you find stillness in a world full of distraction?

Real spiritual living is transcending emotions: to be present, to be prayerful, to be stable, and not to be trying to hold on to, chase after, or correct every emotional thought or distraction that comes at us. It is the seeking after peace and stillness in a world that is unstill. The world is constantly bombarding us with distractions. Social media is absolute poison for the soul.

Doom scrolling is poison for the soul. Driving around in the car endlessly listening to music. Fighting against silence, fighting against stillness, fighting against being present. These are what stand in the way of having some emotional control and living in a way that transcends the emotions.
