Try not to "peek" at him too much. Look INWARD, at yourself, and your own changes . . . "nose to the grindstone, shoulder to the wheel" kinda mentality. Then just occasionally peek up outta your little prairie dog hole to see how he's doing.
You want to convey an air of "Hey, mister, I'll be fine either way."
- Puppy, who wonders how those prairie dogs get those grindstones and wheels down their tiny little holes . . .
