If you feel a twinge of existential dread while completing tasks today, be gentle with yourself. Getting a bout of the blues while washing dishes or commuting to work may mean you’re missing the bigger picture. Without a strong awareness of the motivations behind what we do, our actions can ring hollow. Channel any melancholy you experience into fuel for reminding yourself what matters. Map out the overarching dreams and perspectives that reconnect you to what feels meaningful. If you’re compassionate with yourself, calm and clarity will return shortly.
