I feel like this is something I struggle with all the time. Most of the time I'm just not happy and constantly grinding. When that happens i turn into ... "All work and no play makes pjr a dull boy"

On the flipside, the few times that I sit back, relax and enjoy my current situation and become content, I have fun, go out, hang w/ friends, plan cool things to do, but then i don't work on my projects as much and start thinking in complacent terms like "This isn't so bad"

If anyone has gone thru similar, how have you meshed the 2 to remain happy and not fall into the complacency trap.

Is it even possible?
