A feeling, and the story about the feeling

Watch closely and you will notice they are two different things.

The feeling is short. A tightening, a heaviness, a flare of heat. Thirty seconds, often less.

The story is long. This always happens to me. They never listen. I am behind. The story can run for hours, and it is the story that exhausts you, not the feeling.

This week, when something lands, try separating them. Let the feeling be what it is. Then notice the sentence that arrives behind it, and see whether it is true.

Most of them are not.
