Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- In those rare lit-up moments I suddenly see exactly what matters and what I should change
- Going through that, I saw so clearly what actually matters to me
- The answer hit me so clearly mid-walk that I was sure I’d never forget it
- I have a few specific memories of times I felt completely lit up and clear, and right before I go into something where I want that state again, I want a way to step back into one of those moments vividly enough that some of that feeling comes with me into now.
- The perfect idea arrives crystal clear and I think "no way I forget this"
