We Need to Get Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable
‘Even though I was uncomfortable I got comfortable, was able to deal with the curveball
and I’ve grown as a result of it’
What is your response when in an uncomfortable situation, fight, flight or freeze? John explains why you need to meet challenging situations head on to achieve positive outcomes and personal growth. Listen in to find out how!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- In life and in business we come across situations that make us feel uncomfortable, where it doesn’t feel nice and our response is to choose between fight, flight or freeze.
- Depending on the severity of the situation some may choose to fight and deal with the situation but the majority will choose to do nothing.
- In business, there are lots of ongoing circumstances and many micro situations throughout a day that may be uncomfortable but require a response.
- How many times have you avoided a situation then felt inadequate afterwards? If you face up to an event or interaction you will feel better about yourself and be in a better position to deal with the same type of situation next time.
- When we have dealt with a particular situation previously it becomes less stressful but will remain uncomfortable due to the nature of the interaction.
- You must always look for the positives in every situation.
- Doing the same thing over and over again will create myelin and the decisions you make in both hard and soft tasks will be faster.
- We need to be agile in both business and life so when a curve ball is thrown our way we are able to react and adapt putting a plan in place to overcome and deal with the situation.
- You are not alone in not wanting to push yourself out of your comfort zone but if you want to move your business to the next level you’ve got to push yourself
- It’s about progressing yourself and seeking growth in all areas of your life both personal and professional.
