The emotion tries to get you away from the here and now.
I want to avoid the anxiety.
I'm anxious.
How do I not be anxious?
So instead, what you should do is be as tranquil as possible.
Go for a walk.
Have a nice cup of tea.
You know, sit with your thoughts, stay off of all devices for 24 hours and take a good, long, hard look at your goals and ask yourself, is it time to give up or not?
The answer will come from in here.
Don't make a pro con list.
Don't do anything like just ask yourself.
So I went to a Swami, which is like a monk.
And after I failed for two years to get into med school and I was like, hey, I don't know if I should give up or not.
What do you think I should do?
And then Swami turns to me.
He's like, you know, two years is not such a long time in life.
Give it another year.
He's kind of shrugged, right?
So casual, just so simple.
And I was like, okay, fine.
