This really resonated. The idea that convenience can actually make us more reactive instead of calmer is such an important shift in perspective. It’s easy to assume removing friction should make things better, but you captured how it can heighten sensitivity instead.
I also appreciated how you grounded this in your own experience it made the insight feel tangible and relatable. The pickleball example was a perfect illustration of how our brains can mislabel effort as threat.
Curious to see if you make it to the court. I have a feeling you will. Monica
Hahah right it is so easy to just stay comfortable anymore. The struggle is real. I have to make a salad tonight and guess what I don’t want to go get the supplies. Imagine if we had to find our food in the wilderness OH MY GOODNESS. Give them much props. I do admire the people who live off their land.
Thank you Monica. Glad this resonated with you. Hopefully my brain will simmer down enough for me to get there. Wacking the crap out of a couple balls may be a good balance for me.
