Zoom out when it hurts. Zoom in when it’s beautiful. Most people do the opposite.

Pain pulls you close until the problem fills the frame, and good moments tend to get watched from a distance while you think about what comes next. Reverse both and the same week feels different. Widening the view on something painful restores the rest of the picture, which is mostly still fine. Narrowing it on something good is how you actually receive it instead of filing it.

Try one of each this week. During the next bad hour, name five things that are unaffected. During the next good one, put the phone face down and stay for the whole thing.
