Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I take my health, my safe home, water from the tap completely for granted
- The good things in my life have quietly become invisible
- My everyday life — the dishes, the walk, the commute — passes in a fog while my mind is somewhere else entirely, and I want to actually be here for the plain, mundane moments instead of sleepwalking through them waiting for the parts that supposedly matter.
- I move and see and breathe without ever thinking about it, completely take my working body for granted
- I walk through my own home and neighborhood without actually seeing any of it anymore
