It can definitely be hard to decide on what to pursue, what is the best opportunity and how much time and effort to put into each.

Steemit of course seems like one of the best, as is getting your merch out there and are 2 big opportunities you need to hold onto.

Your personal life should also be a priority. Get out and do extra with your life like your hiking and goals (I just impulse went on a 2 hour walk today both for getting fit and because of Steemit), though I don't think you need to lose weight :) but I understand it is your goal and desire!

Your re-evaluating of life sounds to be helping that's for sure and it is inspiring to me and others to want to do it ourselves! Hehe
