It’s 2 a.m. Your body is tired, but your mind won’t slow down.

Did I say the wrong thing? Did I forget something? What if I messed up?

These tiny worries have a name:

[{"selector":"#anim-f3125db7-4f77-4cac-87c3-ef2578333341","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-be18ef2f-7001-4d01-a654-80a4fe1d978b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.18988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":400,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bf40b9bd-ed4c-4715-9088-0f5f66cf924b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7d199727-e1b3-4663-b954-dfefd3f2d353","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.18988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":400,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

They seem small. But stacked together, they quietly drain your energy.

[{"selector":"#anim-8e5da0ba-d484-483f-a9d0-3198641394ab","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-724270c4-8a61-4fb9-aff2-b04996e9d9d2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.18988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":400,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Noticing them without judgment keeps a pebble from becoming a boulder.

Your small worries are louder than you think.
