I wish I’d never heard about Goblin mode… I feel awful that there’s a name and a description of how things are going for me right now. I’m still recovering from the way the pandemic conditioned us to all stay inside, many of us are. I think I’ve said this before; I wasn’t the most social of people in the first place, but now I would rather not even go out for a meal with Jane or the guys from work, go shopping down town for the day or even to a garden centre of a Saturday afternoon. And of course, if I’m staying in then I’m sitting down at a computer or a console, and chances are I want to snack while I’m there. Goblin mode is slobbing out, not wanting to go anywhere, not living your best life. Gotta nip this in the bud now. I was doing well, making the MarbleGear shop, and I’m still progressing along with the coaching course, but momentum seems to have stalled. I think a target for this next week has to be to go out and see what the world has to offer. Go down town, or just take a walk around the local area, see what’s what.
It’s good I’ve recognised what is happening. That’s the first step to reversing it.
