Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’ll do this big thorough reflection once, feel great about it, and then not do it again for three weeks
- By the time night comes my whole day has blurred into one undifferentiated "fine" or "rough," and I couldn’t actually tell you what happened in it
- I reflect on my day and feel all these feelings about it, and then tomorrow plays out exactly the same
- The second I sit down to look back on my day my mind goes straight to everything that went wrong, and the whole review curdles into beating myself up
- My days just blur past on autopilot and I crawl into bed having never paused to ask where I was at my best today and where I drifted from who I want to be
