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

• Everything in my situation feels decided for me, like I’m just being pushed around by it with no say at all
• I’m burning myself out churning over things I can’t actually move
• I’ve managed to stop trying to control them, but now I just feel powerless and stuck
• This thing is not going to change no matter what I do, and I’m so tired of being told to fight it
• Whatever happens automatically when I don’t decide is usually what ends up winning, and I keep letting inertia pick for me
