Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- There’s always a small early signal
- Whenever I try to be present I end up grading myself
- Good things technically happen in my day but none of them land
- When I’m low all I want is to cancel everything, lie in the dark, and talk to no one
- Sitting still to meditate just hands my mind a stage to spiral on, but when I’m moving slowly I can actually feel my body
