Have you ever felt “off?” You know, that feeling where words might not capture how you feel? Many men have difficulty recognizing, identifying, and naming it when it occurs. To be honest, it’s kind of where I’ve been for the last few weeks—everything felt out of sync, dissatisfying, and uncomfortable.
I’ve been sitting with these feelings, trying to understand them and put them into context in hopes of figuring out the pathway out. Finally, after a period of reflection, I recognized that:
1. I’m tired and my sleep has been off.
2. I’m out of a routine that I value and want.
3. I’m saying yes to things I need to say no to.
I communicated this to my wife so that she could better understand my demeanor. But mostly, I needed to understand it for myself and determine which mindsets and actions required adjustments.
Have you ever experienced something similar?
Please share.
