Here I am, to give you another video game reccomendation, uninvited. First it was Last of Us (you've seen the series, I haven't, but I can assure you the game probably goes into way more depth and is sublime) - but I want to introduce you to Disco Elysium.
Why? Your mention of the Limbic Brain. Disco Elysium is a very intelligent experience, that transcends the whole "being just a video game". You play as a hung over, drunk cop, filled with self hatred, confusion, and some pretty derranged views on life.
You get to experience the entire dramatis personae of each of the brain's "centres", limbic, sensory, the ancient lizard brain, the ego, etc. It is dense narrative, and it is about a war torn city. Mieville's The City and The City no doubt inspired a bunch of the game, I just discovered them in the wrong order (game first, then book) - but now that I have experienced both - its brilliant.
I have had meditation suggested to me so many times, but I tend to overthink and think too qucik constantly, so I cannot really suspend my disbelief or lucidity well enough to get positive outcomes from meditation / breathing exercises. It leaves me feeling like a fraud.
Perhaps I just need to be better connected to my own body. Don't be in a super rush to get everything done in the new house, or the cortisol will take hold and refuse to let go. When we moved in here over a year ago (only just) - I spent the first three of four months working 10-14 hours a day unpacking, assembling furniture, those trips to the hardware store, looking for furniture, organising tradespeople for the things I was not legally permitted to do, and I now realise for many of these things, I have the rest of my life to do it.
So there's three or four spots that need some paint. The paint is in the shed, but I have no brushes or rollers. Then there's another long list of stuff to sort and sell. But I have the rest of my life to do it. :)
I do wish I could game, because that sounds like a fascinating one. I'd love to see Last of Us as a game too!
Though meditation isn't your thing, do just give the breathing a quick go .. it's only seven minutes. I assure you you won't feel like a fraud. It's merely breathing in and out, and you have lungs.
We will paint and sand floors over the school holidays. We are hopeless at inaction.
I've joined the same club as you. I must always be doing something. I might give the breathing thing a try. It won't kill me. Heck, the lack of it might ;)
