This so resonates for me, Charlie, thank you! I've definitely fallen foul of that 'head trash' before, often without ever being aware of it. Approaching work without that sense of dread has been revelatory for me--and it's a practice I have to keep practising! I think you once suggested approaching work like 'fetch water, chop wood' and I've found that so helpful. It reminds me: just do the thing, already, and stop wasting energy!!
