I get it, but will it lead into a situation like a drug where you need more and more to deal with the symptoms? Maybe not, but it is always worth considering whether it is better to deal with a problem now that might not grow, or wait until later when it is huge.

Depends on the person and their awareness level I would say. There are things that cannot be worked out for a longer period of time even as you work on them.

Isn't this what gardening is for :P

Sure, however, you can't garden 24/7 :P

A few hours of solid gardening work exhaust me physically, the mind on the other hand doesn't always go quiet within that time.
