absolutely...

I think we try to rush the work because we are an instant gratification sort of society

I mean...we can say we are doing the work and we are reading the books but it doesn't matter if the whole time we are doing that we are setting ourselves on a sort of timeline...

like
i did the therapy thing (check)
went to the gym (check)
did NC for aweek (check)

it happens in its own timeline
and pushing it to move faster just won't work
