Strong yes^ I can point to several instances where my meditation practice helped me to slow down enough to respond to a situation constructively rather than react to it destructively. I’ll also add that journaling is an absolute game changer in terms of actually debugging/thinking through problems. Meditation = “give this a minute or day to simmer” Journaling = “now that I’ve cooled down, what are my actual thoughts on this matter” I’ve been astounded on dozens of occasions to learn what my own thoughts really are, for the first time, by seeing them on paper. I.e. it subjectively feels like I don’t think the thought then write it, but instead I write it, read it, then think it.
