Speaking up
Zola solved the sock problem
The seam across the toes had been ruining approximately every morning for a month. The thing is, nobody knew, because Zola had assumed everyone's socks felt like that and they were all just coping better than her.
The moment she said it out loud, it took four minutes to fix. Turn them inside out. That's it. That's the whole solution.
She wore them inside out to school and had a completely normal morning, which after a month of tears felt close to a miracle.
Try it this week: Ask: “is anything you're wearing bothering you right now?” Then believe the answer.
