Getting better at withstanding emotional discomfort and strengthening one's emotional resilience seems to be such a tricky challenge. From what I am experiencing and observing so far, this seems to be one of those "use it or lose it" kind of skills. Just because you take certain actions and challenge yourself for the sake of improving your resilience, the improvement doesn't necessarily stick. You need to structure your life in a way that gives you consistent opportunities for exposing yourself to emotional discomfort. Otherwise, your mind tends to "forget" the strength it has gained and you go back to whatever your baseline levels were. This is going to be more difficult than I thought.

Hark Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths full foul in his fury! Black waves teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs til' ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more - only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slitherin' tentacle tail and steaming beard take up his fell be-finned arm, his coral-tine trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye - a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now and nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself - forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea, for any stuff for part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul is Winslow no more, but is now itself the sea!
