Some weeks your only win is that you didn’t make things worse. Take it.

Holding a position counts as a result, even though it does not feel like one. In a bad week the available moves include several that would have cost you something, and not making them is real work. Nothing improved, and nothing broke either, which is a genuine outcome rather than an empty one. The scoreboard for hard weeks is not the same scoreboard you use for good ones.

Count what you did not do this week. The message you did not send, the quitting you did not do, the argument you left alone. Let that be the week’s result and start the next one from level ground.
