Decisions take longer than they used to, even when the stakes are familiar.

I mentally replay conversations to check whether I handled them correctly.

I feel subtle pressure to be the right version of myself before important decisions.

Momentum in my role requires more effort than it once did.

I second guess choices that previously would have felt straightforward.

I feel internally split between what I want to do and what I should do.

Even when outcomes are strong, something about my leadership feels less settled.

Nothing externally is wrong, yet something internally feels heavier.
