What strikes me most is how valuable motion is--most of "feeling" stuck comes from actually "being" stuck! It's self-evident, but as you point out in this article, it's worth repeating! Just like being caught in a rip-tide, the best way out can be to not swim back to shore, but to move in a different direction!
This post makes me like Seneca even more than you already convinced me of in our conversation. Brilliant post and one that makes me feel better about my occasional and deliberate departures from my discipline such staying up late and having a nice bottle of wine with my wife like I’ll be doing this evening.

Well said!
When you can let go of control and let yourself flow, you find out just how little control you actually had.

Outstanding as always Andrew
Just stayed up way too late at a wedding we're attending. No regrets :)
❤️👊🏻
