Is it only me... Being healthy and happy actually makes it harder to do Side Projects? (alien.top)

I used to be so driven with side projects... apps, game dev, 2d art, 3d modeling etc...

But currently, i've taken on a happier perspective... I've noticed I lost the negative/sad/angry thoughts and is now content and satisfied with things. I've been sleeping at 10 waking at 6. Balanced diet. People happy. Everything seems good.

Now when I try to get back on my projects I kinda don't have the drive anymore. Its hard to explain but it just kinda fizzles out whenever I try. I used to have a heavy heart and hateful of stuff, almost as if the negative fuel was allowing me to commit to my idea and reject everything else.

Now I feel like a happy blob but I kinda want my drive again... Anyone else?

pressure drives progress. No pressure, no need for progress. You work harder when youre broke and hungry than when youre comfortable.

true... but surely there's example of people that makes progress while comfortable? Wondering how to get there now, as I am
