Many ask in moments of negative multitude: “why now?”. The victims ask “why me?”, and the adults speak “Thank you, let’s get started”. Better to have one big battle every once and a while, than the equivalent spread across many battles many times. Given, there are instances to which the biology prefers the latter and still the mind lends itself better to the former. All at once means you are in for an easier season following it, gratitude that you are afforded the gift of one dragon now and saved from a horde of bats. Once ‘disaster’ strikes we go straight to gratitude, and then one allows themselves the time to form a plan of solution. Whether the one in question is processing the emotional onslaught they have chosen to feel heavily dictates the speed to which the dragon is vanquished. Less to say that such processing is hindering, and more so that all emotions must be processed, whether now or later. Build the plan and sit with it objectively, subject to you and away from tilt. Realise that the dragon is easily beatable so long as you stick to your guns, remain calm, and swing out just as you’ve done before.

Meditate.
