Look up at the stars on a bad night. Your problem is real, but the sky is a reminder it isn’t everything.

Trouble takes up all available space when there is nothing bigger in view. Standing under something vast solves nothing, and it does resize the problem, setting it back in proportion with everything else that exists. The difficulty stays real; it stops being the whole world.

Step outside on a hard night, even for two minutes, and look up rather than down at a screen. Let the scale do the work without trying to draw a lesson out of it. Then go back in and handle the part you can actually touch tomorrow.
