Most people don’t realize that a single moment of honest prayer — whatever that means to you — can flip your brain out of fear mode, out of stress mode, and out of loneliness.
When researchers scan brains during prayer or deep contemplation they see it happen in real time. The region that creates the “I’m on my own” feeling relaxes. the mind stops fighting itself.
You don’t have to be religious. Just be honest. Acknowledge you don’t have to do life all alone. Set a 2-minute timer and try it now. Less fear. Less loneliness. Less stress. You got this.
