Blaming Mondays, rain and bad sleep for everything makes you a weather report, not a person.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Conditions genuinely affect you, and they explain a rough hour well. What goes wrong is the scale: when the same short list accounts for everything, it has stopped explaining and become a description of the weather. The trouble is that none of those things take instruction, so a life explained entirely by them has no lever left anywhere in it.

Notice which reason you reach for most often over the next week. The repetition is the interesting part. Then find the one piece of it that does answer to you, like when you go to bed, and work only on that.
