Our brain often links discomfort with danger, making simple tasks like getting out of bed, stepping out of our comfort zone, or pursuing opportunities seem more daunting than they actually are.

Understanding that this discomfort is merely a caution signal, not an actual threat, empowers us to distinguish ourselves from self-limiting thoughts. This week, we're delving into how to recognize areas where we think we choose comfort and actively opting for discomfort that's more likely to yield long-term comfort.

Take a moment to envision something you truly desire, and journal about the discomfort you're willing to endure to get it. Discomfort is inevitable, but choosing which form of discomfort we are willing to experience on purpose to get what we want on purpose and with intention can make all the difference. 

For instance:

  • You may feel uncomfortable in a job interview, OR you'll feel uncomfortable being unemployed.
  • You may feel uncomfortable waking up early for the gym, but it is also uncomfortable desiring a body you don't currently have.
  • Putting yourself out there to make friends can be uncomfortable, yet so is the discomfort of loneliness.

Now, ask yourself:

  • What discomfort am I willing to experience to create the marriage I want?
  • What discomfort am I  prepared to face for the job I desire?
  • What discomfort am I willing to experience for the body I desire? 
  • What discomfort am I willing to confront for the life I aspire to have?

Discomfort is inevitable, but the right actions pave the way for the results you desire. While the temptation to stay in bed is natural, don't be too hard on yourself – you're human. Yet, if you're genuinely committed to crafting the life you seek, it's time to get out of bed and take steps toward your aspirations!
