I'm speechless as how one can dare to ask such a question publicly :)
I too decided to drop tech ambitions, life + age made my brain completely lose interest in performance but more about joy and social harmony (meaning let's make everyone happy, relaxed and make efforts for the group).
I have no answer for you but a few simple gigs did make me happier, I'd actually code to make colleagues work better.
Or part time gig at charity association. No remote work in both case but it was both calm jobs. Not easy (unloading food trucks by hand will make you sweat, but it's good sweat you know) but calm, not high pressure.
