#018 - CHOOSE YOUR PAIN: The Key to Growth, Discipline & Freedom ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ก


Listen Later

๐Ÿ”ฅ Pain is inevitableโ€”but suffering is optional. In this episode, I break down the key difference between pain and suffering and why choosing your pain intentionally leads to a stronger, more fulfilling life. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ก

๐Ÿ’ญ Inspired by:
โš”๏ธ Stoic wisdom โ€“ "The pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it."
๐Ÿง˜ Buddhism's Four Noble Truths โ€“ Suffering comes from craving, but we can rise above it.
๐Ÿง  Polyvagal Theory โ€“ How our nervous system navigates stress and rest.
We all face choices:
๐Ÿ”ฅ The pain of discipline vs. the pain of regret ๐Ÿ˜ž
โšก The pain of stepping out of your comfort zone vs. the pain of stagnation ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ
๐Ÿ’ฌ The pain of setting boundaries vs. the pain of resentment ๐Ÿšช
๐ŸŽญ The pain of being honest vs. the pain of living a lie ๐Ÿค
Rather than avoiding pain or numbing it with distractions ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿท๐Ÿ“บ, embrace it, plan for it, and build a life where the pain you choose serves your growth. Because if you donโ€™t choose your pain, pain will choose you.
โšก CHOOSE YOUR PAIN. PLAN FOR IT. BUILD IT INTO YOUR ROUTINE. โšก
