Nice post Ricardo! I noticed something similar with mindfulness meditation and strategies (activities and hobbies) to force myself out of the problem context. It has definitely helped with finding a better balance.

Thanks, Olli! Indeed getting out of our heads is essential. Especially if we work mainly with the intellect and not the body, it is easy to get trapped. I don't know if you know Rick Rubin, the music producer. His take on creativity and how important it is for humans to let it flow instead of fighting inspires me a lot. This podcast episode with him talks about that:
