If things seem unending, unchanging, do something differently. This doesn’t have to be the polar opposite (stop instead of start, for instance). Ideally you are looking for a supplement.

If you’re in any doubt ask your three judges.
When you feel powerful some kind of a struggle has taken place. You have overcome something. Power is never possessed, it’s felt in moments and it always plays out like this.
