I appreciate this! I am practiced at being with discomfort and seeing my thoughts as a "train," but not myself as one. However, I don't have as many tools for changing the thought/emotion cycle you mention here. Your ideas remind me that the tools exist alongside the slower work of time.

In my own faith journey, I draw on the ancient scripture...For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

That aligns well with the marvelous insights you share here. When we are embroiled in fear we cut off options, possibilities and solutions. If we operate from a place of self-control (power), love and sound mind a whole world of possibilities opens up for us.
