A "few hours every day" is still a lot! 😉

Working on your health is very much important, because you need sound health to deal a lot and achieve a lot

Cheers

if you don't stay asleep much like you used to be one reason could be high cortisol or adrenaline, which is the case if you are always too stressed and your brain is always in alert mode

having to rely on others to get things done is super annoying, like when you wait an exam and the hospital never calls...can't do much about that anyways

you gotta do what you feel like to do, if you burnout or your health fails, you won't be able anymore to do even 1 minute of hive

being into Hive for the long run should mean that I'd get to enjoy when we finally get to that point rather than being half the human I once was by then.

Sometimes it takes us far too long to come to this realisation. You've achieved a lot here and deserve to take a step back to enjoy and appreciate it. I remember how small OCD was when you started out. Back then Curie was the bigger curation project, but it barely seems to exist any more. OCD has weathered a lot and is still solid, which is thanks to your devotion (for want of a better word).

I hope you can find a good equilibrium and get your health on track.

I'm with you on that one. A while ago, I was posting every day, and had many ideas. Now, my mind is occupied with family issues and everything that comes with that. I do derive a few posts from that, but I cut back a lot on my Hive time. It's needed elsewhere, and it's better spent there. Being able to prioritize and reconsider is important. I'm pretty sure you're making the right choice there.

It's good to take charge of what we want.

Good luck with that! And you're right, many people do very well on Hive, while others don't. I don't know who determines that, but it happens. I hope to see your progress and what you're aiming for very soon.

Finding that balance between work and well-being is important, particularly in a platform like Hive.

Work on the things I can work on while waiting for other things to fall into place when it does instead of constantly stressing over the process.

Same happened with me, and now I have changed my mind to work on different things instead of getting stressed because of my expectation.

Feeling helpless would be an understatement when it comes to my coding skillset.

AI can help a lot, but you still need to know you shit when it comes to fixing stuff it doesn't do properly.

correct, everyone has special gift or ability

Good sleep is critical. It's amazing how poor sleep routines can eat away at your general health and cause other issues. Getting your sleep right also helps you improve other areas of your life. It would be a good move, in my opinion.

I really appreciate your honesty in this post, @acidyo. I can totally relate to that feeling of looking around and seeing others seem to glide by with less effort while you are giving 90 percent of yourself. It makes you question the balance of rewards versus the energy you put in. In fact, I think about it when I see the amount of my rewards every day 😜.

On the other hand, as a life coach, I work with people facing these exact challenges every day. Burnout is real, and that tunnel vision can truly take a toll on your health and sleep. It is so important that you are choosing to prioritize your well being now so you can actually enjoy the future you are building.

I talk about these topics and how to rediscover our values in my own posts. If you ever have a moment, I would love for you to check them out. I think some of the strategies I share might help as you navigate this new chapter of moderation. Looking forward to following your journey with the new story and your health goals!

Ah ya man Hive has a way of changing your path a little but cannot be your whole path. You have put in so much time creating and leading and now it is time to practice a bit more balance now that things are rolling. I can relate a in my own way and the funny thing is I often feel I am short changing the blockchain when I am distracted by real life!

Anyhow, it is all lessons learned and progress made in many directions. Here to support.

Came to check in and I'm same same.

I guess we wax and wane with the times and circumstances.

It's natural

If it doesn't bring you joy then it becomes a grind so (and you are one) we artists must wander to stay inspired

And try new mediums and such

I'm super interested to read your story :)

Nk pressure though. It ruins the whole artistic process for sure.

Beautiful days, A

A balance in HIVE and non-HIVE is essential to stay on the positive side of things, for both HIVE and non-HIVE worlds 😉
