Success without peace is just a prettier form of pressure.

Achievement that comes with constant low-level dread is not the end of pressure, it is a better-decorated version of it. The externals improve while the internal experience stays the same or gets worse, which is confusing because everything visible says you should feel better.

Check what your body does on a normal Tuesday, not on your best day or your worst. If the answer is braced, treat that as real information about your arrangement, regardless of the results. Peace is part of what you are working for, not a bonus.
