INSIGHT

Cosmic Scale Shrinks Personal Problems

  • Cosmic distances (moon, Sun, Proxima Centauri) dwarf our daily problems and expand perspective dramatically.
  • Imagining such scales helps deflate the perceived size and urgency of our personal struggles.
ADVICE

Create Mental Distance From Problems

  • Step back mentally from a huge problem to create space and reduce its toxic pull on your consciousness.
  • Use that mental distance to improve clarity and bring you closer to solving the issue.
ANECDOTE
