Each day at work, I find myself surrounded by problems. I work for an electric bike company, and bikes, by their nature, have a lot of moving parts. Chains wear down, batteries fail, brakes loosen, and when you add different riders, terrains, and weather conditions, the number of possible issues grows quickly. Every case comes with its own context, and often with a layer of frustration from the person experiencing it.

That energy accumulates. After hours of responding, troubleshooting, and managing expectations, the mind continues long after the workday ends. Conversations replay, unresolved cases resurface, and a sense of responsibility lingers. The body may step away, but the mental activity keeps moving, circling through the same patterns.

This is where I return to the teachings of the yogis.
