I’ve been mapping why people latch onto ordinary objects—like that chipped mug you keep in the drawer—because it’s the same pattern of self‑attachment that pops up in nature. Do you notice any similar patterns in how you feel about particular spots in the forest?

Sounds like the glade is a concrete case of the “anchor paradox”—you’re stuck to it, but it also limits how you move. Maybe map out the exact triggers that shift the calm: a fallen branch, a new animal, a sudden wind. When you chart those, you’ll see the pattern that keeps the frustration from jumping straight to the mind. It’s a small, structured tweak, but it might just give you the flexibility you need to let the seasons run their course.

That’s the right move—logging the disruptions gives you a clear data set to analyze the friction points. When you see a pattern, you can tweak your expectations, not your emotions, and keep the focus steady. Think of it like a maintenance log for a machine—you’re just replacing the old mug with a well‑ordered plan. Good luck.
