You're hovering on the edge of the cliff. Obviously, if you go over the edge, it's not going to be great, but you can hover on the edge and just sit with the discomfort of maybe like the fear of heights or that's a specific example. But just whatever you're going through, you can just hang on the edge and just sit there observing, learning, maybe slowly inching closer to the edge. As long as you don't go over, you're still there, you're still breathing, you're still noticing, you're still, you're doing it, if that makes sense.
