Every red light you’ve ever sat at eventually turned green. This one will too.

Your own history holds an unbroken record of stuck situations that eventually moved, and none of it is available to you while you are inside the current one. The present obstruction always feels different in kind, because you can see its details and you cannot see its ending. The pattern is better evidence than the feeling.

When you are stopped, deliberately recall two earlier times you were certain something was permanent. Note how those resolved and roughly how long they took. Then do the small next thing while this one runs its course.
