I really like this post. You have a good therapist. I need to adopt this approach and in fact started earlier today before reading your post. Small bites. Complete a task. Feel the satisfaction. Trying not to be overwhelmed by life and our personal problems. All the best to you, Richard

I share your discouragement. When we're surrounded by so much sheer meanness, fear, and hatred on a daily basis, and yet we ourselves refuse to be that way, it is simply exhausting. I too drive myself to do too much because I think I "should" and not because I genuinely want to. Stepping back and re-prioritizing, and choosing some things because they restore us and feed us, and some because they help others, as well as all the daily tasks we need to do, seems like a positive way forward. Glad to hear you are writing again.
