Pull up a photo from two years ago. The progress you can’t feel daily is sitting right there.

Change happens too slowly to feel from the inside. Each day looks like the one before it, so your sense of progress comes from comparing today with yesterday, which is the one comparison guaranteed to show nothing. Distance becomes visible only when you step back far enough to see where you started.

Find something from two years ago, a photo or an old message or a note you wrote, and read it as a record of what you were dealing with then. Notice what you now handle without thinking about it. That is the growth your daily mood keeps refusing to count.
