Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- My days just dissolve one into the next with no real reckoning
- The little daily irritations get under my skin way more than they should
- I keep pouring my limited days into petty worries and busywork that won’t matter at all in a year, and somewhere in me I know my time is finite
- I read all the Stoic ideas and nod along, but the moment real life pushes on me I crumble exactly the same as before
- My days just blur past and I never stop to look at them, so the same reactions I’d want to change keep happening on repeat
