The power of stillness

In physics, potential energy is power that’s stored, not spent, like a coiled spring or a rock on a cliff.

In human interaction, stillness holds “social potential energy” in two ways. Inwardly, it gives you the space to chose your response. Outwardly, it signals control, builds tension, and draws attention, making your eventual words or actions carry greater weight.

“You think you’re better than everyone?”

“You’re too serious.”

“Relax—what’s your problem?”

Don’t flinch. Don’t explain. Don’t perform.

One slow breath.

Steady eye contact.

Neutral face.

“You done?”

“Do you want to reframe that?”

“Try again.”

The moment you react, they own the frame, but stillness says: “You don’t move me.”

In crisis, most people speed up. Their voice climbs. Their nerves show.

Slow down everything. Speak lower. Move less.

Let your body feel. Eyes steady. Breath deep.

The grounded person becomes the anchor.

Presence is gravity, in both senses of the word.

Signal that you’re someone who leads themself, and you’ll lead others.
