# ask how long Much [[suffering]] happens when we work to avoid feeling something in the moment and worry about feeling it far in to the future.

What ever the sensation it is [[to feel not to suffer]] - It works for roller-coasters re [[fear of heights]] - It works for surgery. - It works for depression and [[Depression - the fog]]. - It works for pain. ## How long will it take to learn something? - 20 minutes a day on pretty much any skill will make you better then 99% of the population ## Other use cases? - Trouble focusing in an environment?
