Why do storms still rattle me when I know how to sail?

You can already handle the boat. You've proven it in calm water and in rough chop too. The storm doesn't test your hands — it tests where your mind goes the moment things get hard. Here is what actually happens: your attention leaves the wheel and goes to a disaster that hasn't occurred. Now you're steering two things at once — the real boat, and an imagined wreck. One of those is work. The other is waste, and it's the one draining you. This page won't teach you to sail better. You already know how. It will show you how to catch your mind drifting toward the wreck that isn't there, and bring it back to the one thing that was ever in your hands — the next right action.
