We we've been talking about this a lot, but like on day one and day two, day three to four, because it was a 10 day process.

It was fascinating to look around and hear people even vocalize and think they're like, do I stay today?

Do I leave tomorrow?

Am I going to make it to day three?

Am I going to make it to day four?

And myself on day one, I was terrified.

I was shaking.

I was like, I was excited on one hand because I love adrenaline stuff, but I was so scared.

I didn't know what I was capable of.

I didn't know in my head how long I would last.

And so all those voices started flooding, flooding in that I was hearing from other people as well.

Like how long am I going to actually make it?

And I remember at one point, because I've had practice with this, I just took a breath and I was like,

we're not going to do this.

We're not going to allow all these voices.

And I said, no, which is difficult.

And I said, we're going to be here for 10 days.

It's a 10 day experience.

It's going to be hell.

We're going to go through a lot of stuff, but I get to see my kids in 10 days.
