Begin by declaring your freedom to yourself. This is not a time which requires ceremony or pomp and circumstance. It does not necessitate confronting anybody else, especially your boss. Its more like taking up the slack in a rope. If you need some inspiration then read the Declaration of Independence and consider all the good things that happened because of it. You are just taking responsibility for your own motivation by starting with a step toward autonomy. Act as if you have it by official decree.
