That has certainly been my behaviour - I've a great pair of joggers!
I do wonder whether Jerome might see this 'selling behaviour' as a part
of any friendship that he might develop - a feature of friendships.
I'm personally a bit underdeveloped when it comes to think through
strategies that I could employ in the face of such challenges - terminal
laziness.
However, I do rather like finding ways to allow the emergence of just
knowing - those sorts of procedures that I run through in the evening
before bed, or in the morning before I hit the road.
Things like the early (in trance) 6-step reframe and Nano Teck Deck. I
wouldn't mind one or two more - just finding myself without what used to
be a problem.
