Have you ever been doing something when you had a subtle feeling inside you that “if you do that, it’s not gonna end well” but then there was a louder thought that says just do it. For example, Maybe you’re carrying your coffee to the table and in order to not have to make two trips you want to take your plate, your phone, your glasses, and your fork along with your full cup of coffee…there’s a voice in your head that says “you’re gonna spill something if you do that” but then another one that says, “it will be fine”. And so you try to carry it all at once and. You spill it. And you say now I knew that was gonna happen. And you absolutely did know it but that other thought of just do it, won out and because of your rushed plan you ended up with coffee all over the floor or worse, your entire breakfast and the coffee on the floor. You might have guessed I had this experience just this week.
I opted to go with the louder voice and it didn’t end well. Deep down though I knew I didn’t need to be trying to carry it all at once.
