#54 - How To Navigate Discomfort

The Mental Dietician

We all have a threshold for being uncomfortable. How high that threshold is, varies from person to person. Being uncomfortable is good for you because we must be uncomfortable in order to grow and learn. For example, if you want to become stronger physically, you must lift weights that are heavy. If you want to improve your writing skills, you should write more often rather than sit at home all day watching Netflix. Some people are naturally more comfortable being in the discomfort of trying new things in life simply because they have chosen to constantly stretch their limits. At first, it will be hard to feel comfortable experiencing new situations, but as you gain experience and learn from your mistakes, it will become easier. Remember, if you always stay in your comfort zone and avoid situations where you might fail or be uncomfortable, then there is no way for you to grow as an individual.
