This is the One Thing Standing Between You and Your Fitness Goals—And How to Fix It
Are you in a comfort crisis?
Do you ever seek out discomfort?
Why do I ask?
When you stop challenging yourself, and you stop seeking discomfort, life gets cozy—but not in a good way. Sure, it’s nice to kick back, have dinner delivered, and stream your favorite show while lounging on the couch.
But what happens when you make that your default? When you lean into comfort a little too much?
The answer... it's what's called a comfort crisis—and it could be doing more damage than you think.
Let’s get real for a second—
As we age, we seek comfort, but the more comfort we seek, the faster we age.
It sounds backwards, right? But it’s true.
When you stop embracing discomfort, especially in health and fitness, you’re not just aging on the outside. You’re also speeding up the biological clock inside.
Take a moment and think:
How many times have you not worked out because the couch felt too good? Or reached for that bowl of ice cream after dinner because it was easier than dealing with the cravings?
It happens. And it’s not just about willpower—it’s about how we’ve been trained to avoid anything that feels remotely uncomfortable.
Discomfort is where the magic happens.
When you push through those last 5 minutes on the treadmill, when you resist that midnight snack, you’re not just surviving discomfort—you’re growing. You’re building strength. You’re proving to yourself that you can handle the tough stuff, and that’s where lasting health and fitness take root.
Now, you might be thinking, “Why should I go out of my way to make life harder? Isn’t there enough stress already?”
And I get it. Life is hard enough, right?
But the discomfort we’re talking about isn’t about making life unbearable. It’s about taking small steps—daily moments of challenge—that build resilience.
These little tests of strength are what prepare you for the bigger challenges life inevitably throws your way.
Tune in and we’ll share exactly how you can start embracing discomfort—not in a “grit your teeth and suffer” kind of way, but in a way that makes you stronger, healthier, and yes, even happier.
And once you master this, the sky’s the limit.
