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

• I wake up every day asking what I can get out of it, and I’m tired of how self-centered that orientation makes my life feel
• When it’s just me, I let myself off the hook quietly
• My default setting is to evaluate myself constantly
• I do little nice things for people here and there all week, but it never seems to lift me the way I’d expect
• Almost all my discretionary money goes to treats for myself and the lift fades fast, and I notice the moments I actually felt good were the small things I did for other people
