I’m not really a tips and tricks kinda guy.

But if I ever do make a TikTok video titled “7 Surefire Ways to Remain in the Witness Position (for dummies)” you’ll be the first to know.

What I can offer you however, is some perspective.

Have you ever seen a shoelace untie itself? Or a meal eat itself? (Those are rhetorical questions, by the way, in case you were feeling inclined to state the obvious.)

In the same way, a mind cannot ‘un-mind’ itself.
