👀Before You Escape, Answer This👀
What am I feeling right now, right before this click, bored, anxious, stuck on a hard sentence? Just naming it takes away some of its power. Will I be proud of this moment tonight, or will I feel that same empty regret I already know so well? What am I actually avoiding right now, is it the book itself, or just the discomfort of not immediately understanding something? If I give myself permission to feel uncomfortable for ninety seconds without escaping, what happens? Because most urges like this actually peak and fade within about a minute or two if you just sit with them. Is this action moving me toward the person I’m trying to become, or the person I’m trying to stop being?
