I just got rejected (job, date, pitch). How can I use “Go then, there are other worlds than these” in my journal to move on without spiraling?

Try a Worlds Map entry: 1) Name the closed door: “What ended?” (1–2 lines). 2) Adjacent worlds: list 3 alternative paths this setback reveals (new contacts, skills to improve, places to try). 3) Lesson reclaimed: write one skill/strength you used that still transfers. 4) First doorway step: one tiny action you can take today toward one alternative. 5) Release line: “I’m letting go of this door to step toward ___.” Keep it brief in Stoic and repeat for future rejections—training your mind to see options reduces the sting and restores momentum.

I feel trapped in my current role. How can I journal about ‘other worlds’ without blowing up my life overnight?

Use a Pilot Worlds routine: 1) Values snapshot: list 3 values you want more of at work (e.g., learning, autonomy, impact). 2) Three pilots: brainstorm 3 low-risk experiments (shadow a team for 30 minutes, draft a one-page proposal, take a free mini-course). 3) Fear vs. fact: write one fear per pilot and a factual counterpoint. 4) Calendar one pilot this week and note the smallest first step (email, sign-up, 15-minute block). 5) Debrief after: What energized you? What would you iterate? In Stoic, repeat weekly—small pilots open new worlds while keeping your current one stable.

When anxiety or ADHD makes me lock onto one outcome, how can I journal to widen my perspective fast?

Do a 5-minute Three Worlds reset: 1) This world (1 minute): name what’s actually happening right now; list what’s in your control for the next hour. 2) Near world (2 minutes): list 3 acceptable outcomes (not perfect, just workable). 3) Far world (2 minutes): write how your choice today serves a 6–12 month value (e.g., health, craft, relationships). Finish with one 10-minute action that fits all three worlds. Capture it in Stoic, start the action, and check back after to note what felt different. Widening the frame lowers urgency and gets you moving.
