Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I keep telling myself it’s too late to change direction, like that’s just a flat fact about my life
• Every idea I have dies on the same words
• I keep avoiding this even though I’m capable of it and I do care, and I can’t explain why
• I’ve decided "I’m not a reader" or "I’m just not that kind of learner," and that label keeps me from even trying whole approaches
• I catch myself thinking “I’ve used up my willpower for today” and treating it as fact
