Work is the way you occupy your mind and hand and eye and whole body when they’re informed by your imagination and wit, by your keenest perceptions, by your most profound reflections on everything you’ve read and seen and heard and been a part of.
You may or may not be paid to do your work. Work is a world apart from jobs. –Alice Koller, quoted in Sun Magazine
Work Is When You Put Off Playtime

“Leaden paralysis” is a psychiatric term.
If your thought patterns & attitudes, your very sense of self, could be altered by medication, there seems little room in the equation for the soul.
The Christian existentialist conclusion is that the soul is that which chooses.
Malfunctioning receptors may sap or boost your energy. Chemical fluctuations may create a racket in your head. But you can choose your words & actions.
Choose to reject the Voice of Doom.
