Thanks for sharing that story. If something feels easy that actually should feel hard is a good signal that you found a sweet spot. Enjoy the feeling as long as you can, it will inevitably be hard again soon.

My analogy for this is endurance sports. Sometimes you get a runners high and you cover a lot of distance with a feeling of very low effort, but sooner or later the going will get tough again.

Agreed, don't sweat the runners high, enjoy it!
