What’s Really Happening
A slump makes temporary struggle feel permanent. Slumps are not identity. They are seasons.
The job is not to panic. Your job is to simplify, stabilize, and keep showing up.

This is not your whole story.
Do not try to fix everything today.
Simplify.
Move your feet.
Make more balls.
Slumps pass.
Keep going.
