We live in a world of constant input—news alerts, social media scrolls, texts, emails, opinions. Some days it feels like standing in a wind tunnel of voices, each demanding attention. As a life coach and pastor, I’ve seen how this daily blitz can leave us anxious, distracted, and spiritually depleted.

So how do we manage it?

First, pause with purpose. Start your day not with your phone, but with quiet. Whether it’s prayer, journaling, or simply breathing deeply, give your soul a moment to anchor before the world rushes in.

Second, filter wisely. Not all information deserves your energy. Ask: “Does this help me grow, love, or serve?” If not, let it pass. Curate your inputs like you would your diet—nourish your mind with truth, beauty, and hope.

Third, practice presence. The barrage of information often pulls us out of the moment. Reclaim it. Look your loved ones in the eye. Listen without multitasking. God meets us in the now, not the noise.

Fourth, set boundaries. It’s okay to turn off notifications, log off, or say “not now.” You’re not failing by unplugging—you’re choosing stewardship over overload.

Finally, return to your source. Scripture reminds us: “Be still and know that I am God.” Stillness isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. In the quiet, we remember who we are and whose we are.

Thanks for stopping by the fire,

Coach Dennis
