I like this way of talking about “hitting bottom”… as if it’s just reality doing the priority-setting work for you, but if you were a little smarter, you would have done it for yourself. I have found that thinking of “hitting bottom” as a prerequisite to getting better is SPECTACULARLY counterproductive; but until you said that, I didn’t have a compact alternative (besides just not thinking that way, which works about as well as not thinking of bears).
