When I talk about this with friends/family, they universally roll their eyes.
These people are stressed. They are overwhelmed. They are anxious during the day. They have trouble sleeping at night. Some neglect daily activities and self-care.
During the pandemic, a disturbingly significant part of my social circle have stopped caring for the routines they used to follow. They’ve withdrawn. They focus on things they can’t control. News. Politics. Social media.
We cannot control our surroundings.
More than that, we cannot even directly control our thoughts.
But we can be aware of them — and through that awareness, we can achieve tranquility.
