Here’s the part I don’t like admitting: I lose the present moment almost instantly. I stop noticing the good parts of my week because I’m so locked into survival mode.
I have been trying daily, been getting things out of my head and into words, even if for myself, and also been using a grounding and focus app I am building- trying my hardest!
It’s been helping but I also think there is unfinished work in this phase of my life, so I am seeing what the cards play out but man is it daunting.

I know... I struggle too
So I throw myself into work but my folks complain that I'm being distant.
It's a real struggle to find the right balance
