I had been in "Survival mode" for the most of the past 6 months. I was uncertain about every aspect in my life, doubted my choices and abilities. Not a pretty time.
About two week ago I hit "Floating mode". It was actually a great relief for me to see that I was even able to be in this category, that I could get by with just a couple exams in the university and live off a few hours of work every week.
Now I am (pro)actively making my way towards the "Growth mode", making goals, working hard and feeling success. On my way to getting a life.
It's a perfect circle.
