Hi there, everyone! Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of the She Doesn't Settle podcast. Today, I'd like to share with you an important lesson, and it's about the importance of doing hard things in life. Let's face it, nobody wants to do the hard thing. It's natural that you want to pick the easy path in life; after all, you're wired this way. Your brain wants to protect you from danger, and it's designed to keep you safe. So, when you're faced with a scary challenge or an uncomfortable decision, your brain will want to keep you as far away from it as possible. However, sometimes you need to do those hard things in life to be happy and healthy.

This week, I'd like to share with you the biggest benefits of leaving your comfort zone and doing those uncomfortable things. Even though staying in your comfort zone seems nice and cozy at first, nothing ever grows there. So, if you want to build new skills and reach new levels of excellence, you need to challenge yourself more. In this episode, I'm also going to give you some practical tips for tackling hard things and growing outside of your comfort zone, so if you're ready to grow, let's go!

Quotes:

"Just because you're not good at something is not a reason not to do it. In fact, it's probably a really good reason to do it so that you can get better and you can show yourself that you can do something and get better. "

"There's something called the hedonic principle, which comes into play; we're wired to move toward things that make us feel good, and we're wired to move away from things that make us feel uncomfortable."

"When we move through life, it's important to remember that the easiest path isn't usually the best path. "

"When we do hard things, it just builds resilience."

"We have to remind ourselves that as we progress, what we think is hard now is going to seem easy later."

"You're giving your brain a choice, you're deciding, and you can make either decision. But whatever you decide, own that decision. What happens, though, is when you can articulate the benefit, what one means over the other, we can get our brain to understand why doing the challenging thing is better."
