In the end, I haven't managed to completely quell that urge. What has helped is realizing that I don't identify any more with the kind of person I wanted to be, earlier on. The kind of person who casually says they've moved to and lived in all these other places.

I started identifying instead with being the kind of person that is fighting their own private rebellion against the wisdom I'm exposed to on all these travel & digital nomad blogs. That you can't be happy living a sedentary life. That there are deep riches of wisdom and happiness that you can find only if you live in a place long enough to experience all of it. That long-term friendships matter more than telling the 122nd person in a youth hostel, how many countries you've moved to or visited.

Update: Figure I'd mentioned that, in addition, I also collect a bunch of articles to read and file them under 'anti-travel' if I feel the strong pull of the romanticism of traveling.

This book would perhaps be helpful as well. I haven't read it yet myself: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0525429123/
