One day the thing that used to wreck your week will barely dent your afternoon.

Capacity grows quietly, so you rarely notice it happening. The same size of problem meets a larger person and therefore takes up less room, which looks from the outside like the problem got smaller. It did not. You did the growing, mostly through handling things that felt like too much at the time.

Think back to what flattened you two years ago and ask how you would handle it now. Let that comparison be the measurement, since it is more honest than how you feel today. When something is currently wrecking your week, note the date, because it will be useful evidence later.
