Day 6 - tolerating is very expensive
Tolerance for what you don’t like reveals your true standards • it isn’t what you say you want - but what you consistently allow • Late fees, unused subscriptions, undercharging or overpaying, disorganized accounts • If this showed up in a relationship, would you accept it? • Small recurring charges you ignore • Accounts you haven’t checked in months • Debt you’re afraid to look at • Overpaying or undercharging because you don’t want to deal with the confrontation This is very expensive! • The longer something goes unaddressed, the more “normal” it feels • This is how people slowly lose control without realizing it • Numbness ≠ safety - it’s often avoidance in disguise Tolerance is a decision (even if unconscious) - just like with avoidance - tolerating something you wish were different is active, not passive. You’re actually using energy to tolerate a situation you don’t like. • Every “I’ll deal with it later” is an agreement • Every ignored charge is a vote for continuation of this pattern
