The ticking of the clock has always been a background noise, one we rarely pay attention to until the sound becomes a roar in our ears, reminding us of its relentless march forward.

Some days just don’t go the way we planned. We wake up hoping for a smooth ride, and by mid-morning, it’s as if the universe has conspired against us. The to-do list grows longer, the coffee spills, the traffic is unbearable, and everything that could go wrong—does. Our natural instinct is to fix everything, to push through, to fight the bad day and somehow make it better. But what if…
