Three hot days on the road and I couldn’t work out why I felt so off. My lips cracked, my throat ached, my skin felt coated in dust.
Then something clicked. Maybe it’s the aircon. Maybe my car has a filter that needs changing.
Turns out it never had a filter. The air I’d been breathing was recycled dust.
40 minutes, one YouTube video, and a $25 filter later, the difference was instant. The air felt fresh again.
It made me realise how many little things sit just below our awareness. Each one quietly stealing comfort, focus, or peace.
You don’t have to overhaul your life. Just keep spotting the small fixes that make it better to live in.
