ZM—Happy Wavy Wednesday.
Lesson 32 of Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff lands a simple but game‑changing truth: viewing life’s challenges as “tests” instantly lowers the stakes.
When we treat deadlines, disagreements, or surprise bugs like graded finals, stress wins. When we label them pop quizzes designed to teach—not punish—we stay calm, curious, and creative.
That mindset shift is the whole ballgame: it turns every hassle into a prompt for growth instead of a threat to survival.
Keep that lens on today and watch the pressure drop.

ZM—the very first coined BetterCallZaal post is live. Read Lesson 32, speculate if you dare, and tell me what price self‑reflection should trade at. https://paragraph.com/@thezao/year-of-the-zao-day-197 #ZAO
