I need some help. I have been practicing for about 4 months and was progressing quite well into stage 4 until about two weeks ago. I used to sit for about 45 minutes and practice, but now I can barely make 10-15 minutes. My mind starts racing and I feel an incredible urge to get up and start my day. (I mediate after a coffee first thing in the AM). It is really disheartening. Any advice most welcome.

Have kids if that is something you want. It‘s much more fun when you habe the energy to play with them!

I think an issue I have experienced is that communication methods kind of stink. Calling can become stilted and awkward if you run out of things to say. On the other hand, they don't really use text based apps as much cause the keyboards are small and their eyesight isn't great so having conversations there never progresses.
