1810: Will It Matter...

from Calmer in 5 · host Thom Walters

An irritating comment, an unfair interaction, or something that didn't go our way can take up far more of our day than the event itself. When you notice yourself replaying an angry thought, try asking, "Will this matter in 100 years?" The question offers a little distance, helping you consider how much of your attention you want to give it now. In today's episode, we explore how a broader perspective can interrupt rumination, leave room for a thoughtful response, and help you return to the life unfolding around you.
