I suppose I now have to ask myself,
Q: In what areas do have I allowed myself to feel so comfortable , that are not true choices of freedom?
I think it is not a coincidence that Moshe Rabeinu introduces Shabbos to Klal Yisroel by “Mara” when Klal Yisroel was confronting themselves when they were met with bitter waters. The essence of Shabbos is true freedom, as it contains all the elements of “bitachon”, Emunah, living a life of Olam Habbah, not restricted by a physical world when attaching to Hashem.
So I might suggest that we use Shabbos our barometer for freedom. For example, I can ask myself:
Q: Was my response with a “Shabbos Voice”? ( A concept taught to me by Harav Simcha Weinberg, n”y)
Q: Did I handle business knowing that the Source of Brachah is Shabbos?
Q: Did I treat others with Kavod as we are taught to do on Shabbos?
Etc…
