I feel that my ability to focus is coming back.

Whenever I'm anxious or feel overwhelmed my focus gets wrecked and it goes without saying that the last couple of months have been particularly rough.

Yesterday however I had a solid afternoon of deep, focused work and it felt great!

I'm being more mindful of my distractions and feeling more resistant to the grappling hook of social media. It feels like a huge win.

I love this!

My focus was starting to feel very thin recently and then I took a week off during our company mental health vacation. I really feel like the break reset my ability to focus. Great feeling.

Congrats on gaining some resistance to the "grappling hook of social media" (great description) — that's a goal of mine!

Thanks, Gracie! It is an ongoing battle really.

Breaks help sooo much, especially if you're close to nature and far, far away from technology. I miss that a lot.
