For me, it’s how much better I can do things I thought I was already fine at. Like engaging in conversations, handling complex logic, or just consciously relaxing.

I’ve been on it for only two weeks.
Everything. Everything was surprising. It’s not just the motivation, it’s emotional complacency that’s gone too. My doormat instincts are gone, I can politely engage with problems instead of avoiding them. I do the things that I want to do.
On Saturday I did yardwork, took my youngest kid out for a run, then to the beach with our dog where tiny sunfish nipped at our legs, then rock climbing (she’s training for a team), then I made dinner from scratch, and then we went to a local free festival for bazaar shopping and a reggae concert with her big brother. It was amazing.
I’m in my 40s and I’m retroactively angry about my life.
I’m a lot younger, but I can relate. It feels like we’ve been robbed of a much better life we could’ve had, had we known sooner.
