Visualize Melted Butter

Today, on my morning bike commute, my left calf cramped up. Not having any options other than pedaling on, I tried to vizualize myself out of the pain with mixed results.

Vizualization attempt #1 was to tell my left calf that it felt like my right calf, which lead to jealousy and resentment in the face of such a blatant lie. And following the hurt feelings, more pain.

Vizualization #2: "you're relaxing on a sandy beach on a warm tropical isle". My left calf said I wasn't speaking in terms it could understand and continued to moo in agony.

Attempt #3: "Left Calf, you're butter. Warm butter, melting down into my shoe." It worked! My calf was no longer in pain. Now, on to cleaning out the golden, oily mess from my sock.

That reminds me of
"Visualize Whirled Peas."

Good job on talking your calf out of being sore.
