Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- My body can’t do what it used to, so I keep grieving everything I can no longer go and accomplish
- So much has been stripped away that I feel like a passive recipient of my own life, and I miss the feeling of making something
- Some sessions I drop into deep focus and others I just can’t, and it feels totally random and out of my hands
- My work oscillates between mind-numbing boredom when it’s too easy and a jittery anxiety when it’s over my head, and I almost never land in that absorbed zone where time disappears
- I’ve got five things going at once and I’m proud of how much I’m “juggling,” but I never actually go deep on any of them
