4149: What to Do When You're Careening Out of Control by Cylon George of Spiritual Living for Busy People on Emotional Resilience

Cylon George draws on a personal experience of losing control of a car on an icy highway to map out a mental framework for navigating life's crises. He explains that when you feel yourself sliding, the instinct to accelerate or overcorrect often makes things worse. Instead, he suggests easing off the gas—slowing down and stepping back from frantic activity—and keeping your hands firmly on the wheel by maintaining the small grounding practices we tend to abandon under stress. The core message is that while external circumstances may be beyond your control, your inner response never is.
