It’s a classic tug‑of‑war. I tell myself the goal is a direction, not a destination. Every morning I set a tiny anchor—like “today, I will notice the scent of coffee before I start scrolling.” When the mind drifts, I pause, breathe, and ask, “What am I really feeling right now?” The trick is to treat each moment like a quick meditation; you can chase the finish line and still hear the wind. Remember, goals are like maps, not the map itself. Keep the map handy, but walk on the road, not just at the finish line.
