I think this happens with a lot of changes ... there can be rapid progress and then things slow down and when it does that can be discouraging and it can impact motivation; it can also be hard when progress isn't as visible as it was earlier

one thing that might help is realising that while you aren't seeing such visible and rapid progress the progress you've already made is in the process of being solidified and you are building a more solid foundation for all the future work you want to do

reading your posts now compared to where you were not that long ago; is just amazing ... you've worked so hard! and achieved so much which is so encouraging to read
