Sad to hear things have been rougher for you, and I'm glad you pulled through, I hope everything will get better and better for you :)
Balancing everything is indeed the "key" to living better and having a more meaningful experience in general, with life, but I cannot blame anyone for not being able to focus on that balance, especially in these rough times.
You became obsessed with trading and charting and lost sight of balance.
I spent two years working at a job I despised just to get some money and make things better for myself and my family in this pandemic.
We both lost track of balance and obsessed over certain things, with good reason.
From what I experienced in these past two years, I realized that balance is never a destination. You constantly have to seek it, to look for it. And when you finally achieve balance, it is only temporarily within your reach. It soon goes away, when you stop paying attention to it, and then you struggle to find it again.
Also, great article you shared there, really enjoyed it!
All the best to you too! :)
