Like many Tasmanians, I have been lucky enough to be almost entirely insulated from the major consequences of the COVID 19 pandemic to this point. At a personal level, 2020 has actually been an extremely good year for me in a number of ways. Which made it a surprising realisation that in spite of this, I felt I might have hit a bit of a rut a few months back. I was still healthy and enjoying life, but something wasn’t quite right. Over a period of several months I was consistently feeling less energy and less productivity than normal (this is starting to sound like the script for a food supplement ad so I better get to the point pretty quick). I grappled with the question of whether this was a real problem. I doubted there was any clinical issue, but I did eventually consider going to see a doctor if I couldn’t get on top of things. But for the most part I still felt happy and healthy, so I just stayed mindful of my own wellbeing and waited to see what would happen next. It had been a busy year, so one theory I had was that I had just let myself get a bit rundown, but no amount of extra rest or reducing my own expectations of myself seemed to have much impact.
