The most empowering feeling I experience is letting things go. Life is naturally overwhelming: an entire universe calls for our attention, while our capacity to read, learn, understand, and apply is finite. If I am stressed (happening rarely), I cherish the stress as an essential signal (no kidding) and take a break to re-prioritize. Realize that you are the master of your life, and unload to the point where you enjoy working on the rest. The week, the month, the year, and life each perhaps deserve its priorities. In my concrete situation (silver beard, lots of time at my disposal, and lots of projects running), I feel this is the moment to drop serious coding (which I loved) 🍀 .
