Go on a ten day meditation retreat.

Time will hit the breaks, hard.

Maybe this is because I'm not a native speaker, but I'm having difficulty parsing this. What breaks? Do you mean time slows down during the retreat, or does the effect persist afterwards?

I think they meant "brakes" but not completely sure.

Yes, I meant slow down.

With effort, the effect can persist. But you have to be willing to make changes.

The hardest thing anyone has to deal with is their own thoughts in silence.

I suspect most of the people here (including myself) are so addicted to tech and instant access to information it would be unbearable for most.

Experience: Meditated every morning for an hour for sometime, it was tough in the beginning.
