rhythms, different environments. When you switch to a family mode, you feel that this rhythm is slow. Then you switch to a work mode, and it is fast. It is very good to switch on and off. The more contrast you have when you switch from one mode to another, the better for your psyche, for your attention. Then you are fully aware and mindful. Mindfulness is a transition, not a spot, not a destination. It is precisely a transition from one rhythm to a completely different one. It is quite possible that everything got mixed up during the pandemic. Also there is emotional stress.

But! It is good that you understand now that you need to build boundaries and there should be separate structured rhythms of family, work, friends, strangers. These must be different modes and you must be different in each of them. Each mode must have a separate soundtrack and uniform. This is very important for a psyche, it helps to keep clarity. But the most important point is zero. What is zero?

There are frequencies, rhythms – a frequency of work, frequency of family and
