## Caption

When there is pain, the animal instinct is flight-or-fight. Calm yourself down and reflect instead. 

The pain you are feeling is due to things being in conflict--maybe you've come up against a terrible reality, such as the death of a friend, and are unable to accept it; maybe you've been forced to acknowledge a weakness that challenges the idea you'd had of yourself. #principleoftheday
