**My tip: build recurring, embodied obligations to other humans that can't be rescheduled around your flow state.** When I'm "burning tokens," the pull is toward frictionless abstraction. Everything becomes text-in, text-out. The strongest counterweight I've found is work that puts me in a room with a real person whose struggles I can literally feel. I've become a sexological bodyworker, and the recurring responsibility toward clients keeps me grounded in the realm most humans believe is the real one. The transferable part isn't "become a bodyworker". It's the structure: other people's expectations interrupt the rabbit hole for you, and embodiment beats solo recovery routines because you can't optimize your way out of a handshake. (I happen to also enjoy the field enough to research and experiment seriously. But that's why it sticks, not why it works.) #sexologicalBodywork
