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

• I’ve kept this practice up for months but it’s gone on autopilot
• I forced myself to write three things every single night for the streak, and now it’s just a box I tick in ten seconds that makes me feel nothing
• I do the same everyday things
• I keep doing this the same skill a slightly different way every time to keep it interesting, and months in it’s still just as effortful and clumsy as day one
• I tried writing down what I’m grateful for every single day and within a week it went numb
