< a day at a time

Two days ago I had an interesting conversation with some person, whose internet profile absolutely amazed me.
I left her a message and was very pleased to get her respond (response) quite quickly. ('rather quickly' is better)
In the course of ('during our conversation') conversation I realized she's a bit (of a) mistrustful and cautious person, but with a rich, colorful inner world.
The best part of our talk was when she said: "I'm taking life one day at a time. A person cannot do more than a day at a time otherwise they might not do so well."
Аfter those words I've made sure that I wrote her not in vane! vain
I though (thought): "Even if it were the only thing I had to learn this day, I'm happy I learned it!"
Have you ever noticed that people trying to take more than a day at a time look rather confused than confident, rather tired than peaceful? (see note)
Their lives revolve around the past or they're too much worried (about) what will happen in the future.
No, I don't get down on people, that want to live this way, but I actually try not to live by it myself.
Sometimes successfully, sometimes not at all, though.
Nevertheless, I think that’s worth me trying again and again!
Let's try to take things more easily :)

(note) in english

she looked confused, rather than confident.

they look tired, rather than peaceful

alternatively, these patterns sound more natural;

she looked confused, not confident

she was not confident, but confused

A day at a time

Have you ever noticed that people trying to take more than a day at a time often look tired and confused, but not confident and peaceful?
