Leave the house for ten minutes

Some problems grow in a closed room. They sound larger because they have no weather. Ten minutes outside can shrink them to their real size.
You don’t need a hike. A stoop. A parking lot. A path that only goes a little way. Air is a teacher. Distance is a kindness.
The ridges keep going whether you’re ready or not. That can feel cruel. It can also feel like relief. The world is wider than the argument in your kitchen.
Come back when the ten minutes are done. Bring a cooler head. That’s a lifestyle: leaving, then returning, on purpose.
