If You’re Doing It Anyway, You Get to Choose How It Feels

We all have moments where we’re doing something we don’t want to do — chores, homework, practice, family obligations, waiting, working out, or showing up when we’d rather stay home.

And when that happens, it’s easy to get tunnel vision and stay stuck in “I don’t want to be here.”
The more we focus on how much we hate it, the worse it feels.

In Part 3 of the Flexible Thinking series, we talk about how to shift your experience without pretending you like it or turning your emotions off.

This episode covers:

• why resistance makes things more miserable

• how attention fuels discomfort

• why flexible thinking isn’t “positive vibes only”

• simple ways to make hard moments more tolerable

• how to protect your peace when you can’t change the situation

You don’t have to love everything.
But you also don’t have to suffer through it.

If you’re doing it anyway, you get to choose how you meet it.

Until next time, keep looking forward.
