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

  • My days blur into "another morning, another Tuesday" and I move through them on autopilot, never really seeing the particular light or mood of this exact day
  • The good moments slip past me — a meal, my kid at this age, a season of life — and I only really feel them once they’re gone.
  • A good moment is right here in front of me and I’m already half onto the next thing
  • Good things are happening and I’m physically right there but mentally somewhere else entirely, running on autopilot
  • The good moments slide right past me
