narrow awareness is the answer to “how do i not make myself feel the thing i don’t want to feel” @m_ashcroft had a wonderful article about this a while ago https://t.co/lpeXO0yh2R https://t.co/C2FdcDFir8

we can get used to not feeling, to being rigid, in narrow awareness. even the slightest hint of feeling,🤮, it feels horrible and overwhelming, your subconscious is dedicated to avoiding https://t.co/F6dHJOue2B

if you’re not used to feeling the ocean (feelings, your body, etc.), it can feel intolerable https://t.co/bZ2GsU5Otm

if you get wet and stay overwhelmed, that doesn’t necessarily help but if you get wet and start accepting the overwhelming feelings . . .

you might just come to /expect/ (accept) those feelings to be there and relax a bit

the trick is expecting the overwhelm to be there somehow it’s easier to say “expect the overwhelm” and when it shows up the actual feeling of overwhelm is nothing like what you expected nobody expects the spanish inquisition https://t.co/ncT4zCEIKA

which is to say everyone expects the spanish inquisition, but somehow when it shows up, you’re still somehow surprised and in fear
