There is no pain or stress at this time. It comes only from the future or the past. You may find yourself thinking about things you’ve done in the past or things you’ll do in the future.
The book had a calming effect. I really needed it at the time. I started my own business, but there was still coronavirus and my thoughts could really run away.
