Haha, that’d do it.
I’m not trying to debate you, I don’t know what is causing your issues, but in my experience people that say things like this,
can be, in my experience, out of touch with how things are affecting them as they rarely have to pay it any mind and so when something does affect them they still might not perceive it (while their body does).
Therefore, I’m going to share some ideas just in case something sticks.
Uncertainty, before our lives had more predictability. And the restriction of ease of access to things that matter to us chips away at us too.
Sure, a lot of us manage to continue training and that’s great but it’s not our routine. Changing routines is one thing (interesting, novel, new stimulus), but being forced to change routine might trigger an internal “I’m not in control”-response and stress us out (however minutely).
But you still have one. You certainly care for your wife and munchkin. You could give fuck all about all the rest and still have a stress-response just by being worried for them and their future.
That can just churn in the background without conscious thought I’ve found. I’m a somewhat young lad, and so far there’s been two global recessions before I even managed to turn my nest-egg into a home. Rather than focus on that, my brain extrapolates and muses about the future that my niece will have. We’re this ill-prepared to handle a very tangible, acute, state. Climate change will be a completely different monster.
In Swedish, we have a saying that goes “Många bäckar små …” means that many small contributions can amount to something big. The only translation I’ve seen is “Many a little makes a mickle.”
