Going back & rereading this segment of our discussion, I'm reminded of how when I DO try, once again making the inexorable effort YET ONCE AGAIN, the feeling of accomplishment dissolves into the ether, and even the memory of the good feeling isn't enough to make it any easier, any smoother or any different from t h e last time....the parable & vision of Sysepheus pushing the interminably burdensome boulder up the mountain, only to have it roll back down - & often flatten you as it returns to its starting position, if not further behind than the last time.....Grrrr! And Arrrrgggh!

@brandysparks There are days when I slide into the same feelings you described here. And it can indeed be a struggle to find anything positive. Just yesterday I was reminded of tools to use to stop the slide backwards: Journaling, or playing in my fabric stash putting projects together [even if only in my mind for now], drawing, crocheting for charity. Sometimes a nap with my cat curled up on my lap.

Step outta the way of the rock sliding back down towards you.
