Perhaps motivation is the cause? Fear of not doing the task perfectly? Feeling of being too unworthy of taking the time to do and enjoy it?
I am an artist and outdoor enthusiast. I haven't been doing much of either. It is really hard, despite loving doing these activities, to motivate myself to do so. As asked above, I have issues about my self-esteem and worthiness. I question whether I am deserving enough to focus attention on myself. I also am anxious about the end results. I have a need for perfection being concerned I will humiliate myself if the end product isn't good enough. Considering the sheer expense of such things too I question the validity of pursuing them and my deserving of such expense.
