This struggle is so shared! The only "solution" I've found is to diversify the obsession, to do some work with the body. The body at least knows when it's tired, unlike the mind that doesn't know how to stop on its own. I'm sure you've still learned a lot during these years, and hope you're not too hard on yourself when some mistakes happen ^^
The body knows ❤️ Yes it is more obvious that you are tired and have to stop if you are engaging in hard physical labour 👏 and the satisfaction might be felt more even if you are not finished? But I would say it is a bit the same here for me. When to pause, when to leave and do something else, when to come and have a glass of juice with ones partner, the discernment to step back and see if the thing I'm pushing through on right now is actually the agreed upon and important thing to be attending to, perhaps working into the wall of exhaustion is the same pattern but in physical form? But the body knows, I think that is so true 🙏 Also when in the obsessed mental work, if tuning into my somatic experience I think Im learning to see that it is quite easy to feel when I'm passing over this line. The hard part then seems to be first to remember to notice it, and then to reprogram the new choice of actually choosing to regulate, do something other, take care of myself, put my attention to those I care about, do something physical. Mmm it seems these are more towards my new values, and that my habits, structure, patterns, discipline, are not fully there yet, in this specific area. But let's see where it lands. Maybe the softer acceptance I hear in your way of seeing it in yourself is where I will have to find my peace with it also 😊
Yes, maybe it starts off as the same pattern, which isn't that bad in itself. But the more you work your mind up, the harder it becomes to stop. The thoughts get stuck in a loop and try to make themselves important so you have to put considerable effort to break out of it. There is this feeling that all the energy put in motion to build this understanding is fleeting and could be lost and wasted unless persued. The only way to break the loop is to see it through till the end.
Building the house can be hard work, but there isn't that same buildup and teardown before and after each session. Starting and stopping is just a hammer away. No need to load 1000 lines of code into memory.
Moved! 👏 Haha why is that my goal, to move people? I'm really glad that little whispering play was able to reach all the way to the other side of the world and displace something in you 😊 Fun and free
Hmm took me a while to remember 🤔 I think it was from a wonderfully mysterious man named Magnus whom I met first time in this yoga/ayurveda retreat in Norway. He gave me a tiny reading. It must have been in 2018. Then over the years I have dived into it a few times 👏 it sounds like the HD experiment is top of mind for you 😊

Mm they make themselves soo important 🙏 Just a hammer way! And walking away as easy as putting the hammer on the table 🥳
Ah thank you so much for mentioning my silly little goose 🪿 ✨ advice! I’m so happy that it stuck with you! Cheers
Wow! Your song and voice really moved me. Wonderful interpretation. A bit jazzy. A bit free form. Thank you. A fun goodnight….

Delightful 🎶 Sat close to the fire. Listened closely.
Such a good feeling being immersed in fulfilling work and see everything else around faiding away for a moment.
I'm so glad you feel that way, it sounds wonderful and balanced 🙏 That's where I want to get also.
This is how I feel and find satisfaction as a Generator (in Human Design). People operate very differently and can find purpose from different things.
Manifesting generator 🙌 Mmm the satisfaction 🤤
So, lots of energy here. 😊 Where did you hear about Human Design for the first time?
