Must Read Again.

"I quit" is rarely said flatly. Whether it's said to yourself or others, it's usually "I QUIT!" or " Ugh . I quit..." (cue *sad trombone*).

And that's because quitting is rarely done at the height of rational deliberation. It's usually based on feelings in the moment . You feel fear, anger, anxiety, impatience or frustration and then suddenly you snap and it's time to call it a day. We talk about grit and other global perspectives on resilience but the minutiae of actually coping with intense negative feelings in the moment is often left vague. And that sucks because it's usually the hardest part.
