Have you done too many hard things?
When your whole personality is about doing hard things, you spend most of your time in survival mode. Survival mode is great if you’re actually trying to survive something. But, for living and enjoying your life…not so much.

Too many hard things under your belt without enough rest, play, fun, and joy and your nervous system starts to go on the defensive. It builds spectacular, high achieving, results oriented, armor and narrows your life down to something defensible.
