It's below freezing outside and it's going to be colder in the days ahead. I feel like, "It's not supposed to be this cold outside!!" My mind responds with, "Sez who??" I grew up in New Hampshire, I'm supposed to be okay with this!! But then there were a few years in Arizona, another few on Florida... And now I'm here. At 54 years old I can't tolerate what I used to.
Instead of permitting aversion to color my experience, just experience. That's how I was able to find the freezing cold _interesting._ It had been many years since my hands were frozen to the point of being useless. That was a fascinating experience.
I came home from running errands feeling energized. All because I replaced aversion with experience.
