Clenched Teeth
Delaying the inevitable helps us pretend. Pretend that we might not have to do it or maybe…if we wait it will get better. Sometimes it does but reality has a way of making itself known. It’s not something you can pretend away.
The interesting outcome is the great feeling you get when you simply execute. It typically takes less time to move through the pain and it’s far less painful than we imagine. The conversation in your mind is what steals your time.
The key is to monitor the battle your thoughts are having with reality.
The cold water doesn’t get warmer if you ease in on your toes with a big inhale and clenched teeth.
