Lethargy

Existing in auto-pilot mode where things that used to be enjoyable and stimulating are no longer.

Trying to stay disciplined but giving into bad habits for the quick chemical rush.

Being burned out in a job that loses it's appeal.

Then on the other side of being caught up in the glamour of  'progressive' influencers/speakers to step out of line at any chance, with any excuse, without self-assessment first, resulting in unskilled workers who believe they are better than they are but unwilling to receive critical feedback hence unable to learn important skills that would carry over in other areas.

The mission of climbing the ranks in a corporate job as one’s main purpose in life.

When we let our job title and wage tier correlate to our standing in society.

Shallow, politically correct conversations.

Repressing emotions to present a polished persona.

Re-shift of perspective to find new enjoyment and new challenges in our work without letting it consume us.

Reconnecting with our playful side.
