In this brief monologue, the speaker addresses high‑achieving, action‑oriented individuals and self‑identified control‑freaks who struggle to find stillness. She observes that many feel mentally overloaded—citing ADD‑like symptoms and an inability to sit still for meditation. She proposes that the missing remedy is stillness, defined as silence, solitude, and quiet time with God. Drawing from her own experience, she emphasizes how meditation and spending time in silent communion with God have become essential practices for her personal growth and mental health, positioning stillness as a vital medicine for those who constantly strive and control.
