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

• 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.
• My ordinary days just blur past
• I do the same everyday things
• The good parts of my day are happening but I’m never actually in them
• My days blur into "another morning, another Tuesday" and I move through them on autopilot, never really seeing the particular light or mood of this exact day
