## What Jamie wrote

Article from [Jon Kabat-Zinn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Kabat-Zinn), one of the leaders of mindfulness practices.

> Precisely because if we are overloaded to the point of being overwhelmed, it is likely that we will be so agitated, so distraught, so self-preoccupied that we won’t be able to meet anybody or any situation from a place of ease within the fullness of our own being in that moment, and that includes, most importantly, even an authentic meeting of ourselves and those we most care about.
