Drift, Pauses, and Returning

Stay connected through interruption, distance, pauses, and imperfect restarts.

Start here when a goal has gone quiet or returning feels heavier than beginning.

What belongs here: Drift, pauses, restarts, return points, and rebuilding self-trust. What belongs elsewhere: Ordinary sustainability before a break or choosing a different goal.
