"That constant, mild nag in the back of my head, trying to figure out why I made my choices. I don’t know why it’s been nagging at me so much, but my choices don’t align with my values".
I've been there and realised it almost 100% relates to the fact I have habits that make me tired, and I don't act in line with my values when I'm over tired.
Yep. This one was weird. Like it really got to me more than it should have, but I was pretty disappointed in the choice I made and obviously this stuff means more to me than maybe I realised. Either way, good lesson. The temporary benefit of ignoring a poor choice is outweighed by the week and a half of angst I had around not being honest with myself.
