Found a weird trick to stop thinking about my old art school dream
I started setting a timer for 10 minutes each night to just sketch, no pressure. It didn't bring the dream back, but it quieted the 'what if' thoughts a lot. Anyone have a small ritual that helped them make peace with a dropped goal?

Love that timer idea. I started doing five minutes of free writing each morning to quiet my own "what ifs" about a book I never wrote.

Wait, you only do five minutes, @evanc59?

I've always felt five minutes just teases your brain without actually getting anywhere.

Honestly, that five minute rule is genius. It's like tricking your brain into starting before the fear even shows up.
