Thanks, Jonas. No physical pain involved, just the uncomfortable and trying job of changing deeply ingrained habits and attitudes :-) Sunnaas' prescriptions involved a hefty dose of mindfulness, meditation, exercise and confronting some old demons.

But as my new habits get more set and my health has improved, the result is more energy, me being more effective and eventually creating more room to write and blog again.
