Feeling overwhelmed by AI? You're not behind. You're human. Here's how to stop the spiral and engage with AI on your own terms — without burning out. Every week brings new AI tools, new models, new things to learn. And if you feel like you're constantly falling behind — you're not alone. Even the experts feel this way. The good news: there's a way through that doesn't involve consuming more content or pretending AI doesn't exist. In this video, I share three chapters drawn from 15 years of meditation practice and a career in tech: 1. How to stop the AI overwhelm at its source 2. How to stop being afraid of falling behind 3. Where to actually start — tomorrow morning Plus three ancient Indian stories that reframe the entire problem: Chandika vs. Raktabija, Durga vs. Mahishasura, and Ganesha's tiny mouse. These aren't just metaphors — they're 5,000-year-old maps for navigating exactly the kind of overwhelm we feel today. ⏳ Timestamps: 00:00 The problem nobody admits 01:45 Chapter 1: The Emergency Brake 02:24 First — accept it's happening 03:16 The 5,000-year-old story of Raktabija 04:44 How Kali wins the fix 05:31 Fight on your own terms 07:33 Chapter 2: Stop Being Scared 08:42 The GTA cheat code metaphor 09:30 You are the actor, not the role 11:05 Durga vs. Mahishasura — how to keep pace 12:34 The architect's tool: schedule your AI time 13:55 Chapter 3: Where to Start 14:30 Peace more than AI 15:18 Ganesha and his mouse 16:33 Find your meaning 18:11 What to do next 🎁 FREE 7-Day Meditation Challenge Start from the basics and discover how meditation can help you in your daily life: https://ethertom.com/challenge I'm Tom, a certified meditation teacher.
