If your meetings have run longer than usual or your work tasks have felt genuinely unwieldy, take heart. The miscommunications with coworkers, misspelled subject lines, and delayed projects have all served a purpose. The lesson? Sometimes going inward and taking an internal pause is the most productive way to reset for success. If your friend groups have been the wiggly arena, the same advice applies. Misplaced invitations have redirected you somewhere else: your wise inner world.
