Training... First define Goliath, and then learn and train to take him down. Train so that it’s no longer stressful, just something that needs doing. “I can do thing without Lorazepam”...

For me the way to get through things I don’t like is to put myself on auto-pilot and let training take control. There are some things I learned from my father that I really don’t like doing — plumbing, electrical wiring, carpentry... don’t think about it, just do it. No one has ever paid me for any of that, it’s just something that needs to be done so I do it.

Sorta like taxes, hold my nose and do the paperwork; nothing to like, dislike or fear, just a necessary evil.

FWIW, probably < $.02
