Can you go five more seconds?

I think most people would say yes, right?

It's the fear of, oh, how long is this going to last?

It's this projection and the expectation and how all those circumstances, do we look at the past and the pain that we've had and project to the future and what's going to happen?

That's the problem.

But when we can be in this moment and embrace whatever pain and challenge we have in this moment, just right now, and then take the next step,

And that's the power that she was sharing.

So what Lewis Gordon Q did was his performance coach said, you're never going to make it if you just think I'm going to swim one kilometer.

We've got to break this down into smaller steps.

And so they had a flag every hundred meters that represented a group of people on his team.

And his coach said, I don't want you to think about anything except for that flag.

You just got to get to the next flag, just the next flag.

One of the things that you said that's so powerful is the challenge with not wanting to start things.

This is a challenge that we all face.

The main issue with that is that your first step is too big.

We need to make that next step smaller.

And James Clear talks about this in Atomic Habits, that great book.

If you want to start running, can you put your shoes, your running shoes by the door?

That's the first step.

Can you just do that?
