I filled the bathtub with hot water (cool enough to the touch yet uncomfortable at the some time) and I submerged myself up to my neck. I committed myself at that moment that I would not move until the water cooled down substantially and the discomfort subsided.

It was an absolutely arduous and extremely uncomfortable experience that I did manage to get through in the end. It was risky and potentially stupid. However, today whenever I need strength to get through circumstances in my life, I turn my attention to those incredibly uncomfortable moments within that bathtub and I find the resilience to pull through.

If the brain can’t tell the difference between an imagined event and a memory, does that mean that we can effectively rewire and condition our brain to BELIEVE what we want, even if What We Want we don’t consciously BELIEVE we will have?
