Have you ever realized midstream that you're on autopilot? The Ramchal warns that without daily cheshbon nefesh—pausing each day to "wait a second" and audit our deeds—our actions slip into mindless routine. We can repeat good habits until they become hollow, never noticing when we veer off course or settle for mediocrity. How would your day change if you stopped each morning to ask, "What am I doing and why?" This episode will teach you how to carve out consistent "stop and think" breaks, keeping your spiritual trajectory aligned with your highest goals.
