DQ,

I agree it is a constant process.

I have found in my life that despite overcoming huge setbacks, I'll get trapped by something big down the road that may be even similar to what I experienced before. I think my comfort zones continued to evolve and narrow when life is easy, so that when a major setback occurs outside of that narrow comfort zone, despite a history of dealing with it before, I allow it to be a major setback once again. The recovery from each time seems to be much shorter, but the initial impact is always pretty big.
