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

• I say I care about not causing harm, but when I look honestly at what I eat and buy and how I treat the people serving me, there’s this gap between what I claim to value and how I actually live every day that’s started to nag at me.
• I say family and health and experiences are what matter to me, but when I actually look at where my money goes it’s subscriptions and convenience and impulse buys
• I say I value certain things, but when I look honestly at how I actually spent my week, my real priorities were something else entirely
• I keep telling myself I’m basically living in line with what I care about, but if I’m brutally honest about my actual behavior the last couple of weeks, I suspect I’m way further from the center than I let myself admit
• There’s a low hum of dissatisfaction in my life I can’t pin down
