Surrendering to stillness can help us let go of our worries and fears from "summary" of The Art of Stillness by Pico Iyer

In a world that is constantly buzzing with noise and activity, it can be difficult to find moments of peace and stillness. But it is in these moments of quiet that we can truly let go of our worries and fears. By surrendering to the stillness that surrounds us, we allow ourselves to release the hold that our anxieties have on us. When we are constantly on the move, our minds are constantly racing, jumping from one thought to the next. It is only when we pause and embrace the silence that we can start to untangle the web of worries that have been weighing us down. Stillness offers us the chance to take a step back, to breathe and to let go of the things that are out of our control. In the absence of distractions, we are forced to confront our fears head-on. We are forced to sit with our discomfort and to acknowledge the thoughts that have been plaguing us. But in facing our fears in this way, we rob them of their power over us. We come to realize that our worries are nothing more than thoughts, and that we have the power to choose whether or not to let them consume us. Surrendering to stillness is not about escaping from our problems, but rather about facing them with a sense of calm and clarity. It is about finding a sense of peace amidst the chaos of our lives. When we let go of our worries and fears in this way, we open ourselves up to a world of possibility and potential. We free ourselves from the chains that have been holding us back, and we give ourselves the space to grow and to evolve.
