Yes I have, and what a journey it has been. Currently experiencing this in doing mundane limited activities ( the body forced this state of being through sickness) such as dusting, lighting candles, washing up. Can’t wait to stay in the flow but I have a personal family event coming up, which in my story, is causing me some anxiety. But I know it’s going to be fine, and I am really looking forward to being there honouring this precious persons life.

In middle age I appreciate the importance of savoring peaceful moments found in ordinary activities rather than what I feel like I did most of my life which could be described as chasing pleasure
