The world wants you to speed up, but I am telling you to slow down. Before you start running the marathon, you need to understand your pace. How fast you talk, how long your pauses are, how slowly you pick up a glass of water. Anxiety comes from not knowing how to react. When someone asks you to do something, including yourself, you are allowed to take your time and think about it first. Take your time when you act; do not rush your answers, as this will result in a shockwave of anxiety. Do not worry if you miss your chance to perform; there are many more opportunities. The best responses are those that were constructed with patience. Not haste to achieve success, but discipline to react with reason. Do not do just for the sake of doing, do not do just for the sake of someone else. remember this is for you and your comrades.

Embrace the shock, practice putting yourself in anxiety by taking cold showers, and conditioning your nervous system to get used to the shock. Day by day, your body will learn to absorb this shock more effectively as you practice. But don’t stay under the cold water for too long! All you need is a 30-second to a minute shower to properly cleanse yourself.
