Willing

It's not what we feel, but what we're unwilling to feel, that gets us into trouble with impulse.

If you're unwilling to experience a feeling, at the first sign of it, you'll take action to get out.

The feeling of hungry, lonely, sad, or bored, or even joy, pride, calm, or love.

You'll drink over it or game over it. You'll shop or scroll or work over it. You'll binge-watch or overeat over it,

Hello Pull.

Get curious. What might I be unwilling to feel here?

Identify it. Get to know your way around it.

What is your tolerance for it? What are the messages you took away from childhood about it?

How long are you willing to sit in the discomfort of this feeling, this sensation, to see what happens?

And, loving reminder, permission is ours to give. At any moment, we get to choose to bring in the supports. Eat. Scroll. Shop. Work. Something else ...
