Getting Friendly With Your Discomfort

Apr 11

Is it really “not serving you,” or are you just resisting discomfort?

We do this adorable little dance. We convince ourselves a situation is too much, and play the mental game where we scheme up every little reason as to why it doesn’t serve us.

But, if we decide to get brutally honest with ourselves, sure…we can still run away from discomfort. We can’t, however, escape the truth.

We recognize, “Oh ha! Isn’t this cute? Look at me trying to stay all cozy, comfy. It isn’t that this doesn’t serve me. In fact, this experience is an opportunity for self-expansion and deep growth; I’m only resisting because there’s fear present.”

It’s the experiences in life that are sometimes wildly inconvenient and painfully uncomfortable that challenge us in the most profound, necessary ways.

It requires us to bet on ourselves & trust that we know how to (or will learn how to) take care of ourselves when shit hits the fan.

And know that no matter, at the end of it, we’re going be okay because we’re built for this. Because we’re actually very capable of walking through a storm, and drying ourselves off.

Before you tell yourself, “this doesn’t serve me,” be careful you’re not just escaping a wonderful opportunity to grow and stretch yourself beyond your boarders.

Before you tell yourself, “this doesn’t serve me,” be cautious you’re not just avoiding an uncomfortable conversation, or learning how to address conflict.

Before you tell yourself, “this doesn’t serve me,” be mindful you’re not just fleeing from a moment that’s asking you to trust yourself.
