**Forget Meditation. I Found Peace in a Puzzle Box.**

I once believed jigsaw puzzles were only for children. For over 20 years, I thought there were always more exciting or productive things to do. That changed last autumn. On a rainy afternoon, I found an old, unused puzzle. With little else to do, I decided to try it. I was immediately hooked. Each piece I connected gave me a small rush and a sense of achievement. In our hectic world, this simple activity finally calmed my mind.
