Coming back becomes easier when you are allowed to begin where you actually are.

Return is usually blocked by the entry requirement rather than by the activity. If starting again means resuming at the old level, the old frequency, or the old standard, then the first step is enormous and gets postponed indefinitely. Beginning from your current, honest position is not a lesser version of coming back; it is the only version that works.

Go back this week at whatever size is actually available: ten minutes, one page, a short walk, one message. Do not measure it against what you used to do. Let the second attempt be slightly larger than the first.
