What's Your Appetite for Discomfort?

I like hard problems, so I find that my tolerance for discomfort is abnormally high. I just keep forgetting that many others have lower tolerance for such. For what it's worth, I find it very hard to stay focused on large problems without tripping over people who just want to make a little difference in the world.

A technique for discovering objects of fear.

Sleep with pillow/blanket over face. Oxygen drought puts brain into nightmare mode. Memories associated with discomfort eventually emerge. But this only works if you are already ready and able to dream. (There have been times in my life when I was training to not-dream.)
