FluidStance's Heavy is a daily ritual to help you name what’s weighing on you, create space for perspective, and take small steps forward.
It’s not about fixing everything—it’s about giving your mind room to breathe.

For a Lighter Tomorrow...
Stopping the 3:30AM Spin.
For a decade, I would wake up at 3:32a.m., my mind spinning with the weight of unfinished worlds, unsaid words, and looming responsibilities. Whether it was the pressures of entrepreneurship, the responsibilities of fatherhood, or the quiet burdens of adulthood, 3AM was my darkest hour. It's a lonely place—where problems grow shadows and worries grow teeth.
Research shows that nighttime rumination is strongly associated with increased stress, anxiety, and poor sleep quality, creating a cycle that disrupts mental health.
This was my spin.
