I can say, ignoring that feeling is hard. It's fighting a deep instinct. But you can do it. I DBed soft and took at least two months before I had the resolve to go hard. The first time I did, I felt sick, something that has never happened to me. But it can be done. And then you find it gets easier and easier. You have the strength in you and you can do it.
I think of that Seinfeld episode the opposite. So funny, but there is a real element of truth. And for a while, that is what I did, the opposite of my instinct. Eventually, you'll get into a new rhythm and your instinct will evolve (and then you just follow). But it is all possible. Just give it a go.
