Hi. Meditation, I do think is worth exploring. I’m not great at it - but I use it just enough to help me find my way back to center when I find myself wondering away. I felt compelled to comment because I see your focus on your nails as a great entry point to use your nails to focus you back into the present.
Reminder, no expert here, but meditation uses repetitive focus and movements like breathing to remove all the noise in your head. Use your focus on your nails in the same way. Find a repetitive message to say as you use your finger on one hand to trace the fingernails in the other hand. Maybe, “My nails help remind me to stay present”.
Do that on both hands and use it as a way to forgive your thoughts and come back to your intention to be present.
Thank you so much, Mike, for this thoughtful and detailed response! I am a big fan of meditation! Definitely not an expert or super great at it, but I’ve been working on spending just 5 minutes a day meditating and it has really helped me “absorb” the present moment better.

Good luck.
