Make discomfort your best friend

One of the biggest lessons to learn in life, is, to get acquainted with discomfort.
Hell, embrace it even.
Because discomfort is the breeding grounds for exponential personal growth.
Because after you step outside your comfort zone, you realize you can actually do it.
You realize it wasn’t as bad as your mind made it out to be.
That’s where the magic lies.
Your self confidence grows.
Nothing can buy you that.
“You get in life what you have the courage to go after.”
But it requires you to take a step forward, it requires you to do something you haven’t done before.
I was telling a client recently that,
“ What got us to where we are now, is not the same thing that will get us to where we want to.”
As I start in every first session with a new client, we often do things for a reason but what we are so used to doing actually hinders us in ways we are not aware of.
Which is why my job and my life’s purpose is to guide you through your blindspots so you can level up to be the best you can be.
So we can identify, target and de-root the self imposed limits that we all have and reframe them.
Because nothing is un-figurable, unreframable.
Society, school are used to telling us that its one way or another, you either fail or you succeed.
But I am here to tell you to be aware of external influences it has on your mindset and to get out of it.
Because its unhealthy and unrealistic.
Life isn’t that black and white.

The beauty of life is the middle line, the grey area.
That is the reasoning area between logic and emotion.
The purpose of it is the bridge both together.
The crossover between ying and yang.
That is how you live a full life.
Not one sided, not one extreme to another, but embracing both.
*****
In every stage of life, career, relationship, there will always be a different level of challenge.
A new obstacle that we have to get through.
Like in a video game, you need to fight a certain boss before you level up to fight the next one.
One of the most powerful life advice I took was to gameify my life.
To see life’s challenges and hardships as levels that you will get through to slay the next boss.
Because when you reframe it like that, it no longer “feels” personal.
It no longer “feels” like life is happening “to” you to screw you over.
It then feels like its happening “for you”, to build you up.
So you can level up.
It gives you agency, power, strength and self accountability to make things happen.

“So many advantages come from being willing to look like an idiot in the short term. That is how you last.”
Within your relationships, there are probably conversations you have put off having because of fear, doubt, discomfort.
I’m here to encourage you to start having them.
Because once you do, you realize nothing is unresolvable.
It might not go perfectly the first time around, but what does?
As long as you have the courage, bravery and the will to keep trying, that’s all that matters.
This mindset alone will take you further than you ever thought possible.
Everything can be talked out through mutual understanding and curiosity to listen.
Embrace discomfort.
Accept it.
Acknowledge it.
Don’t turn away from it.
That is the key to your personal growth.
Let’s embrace and accept discomfort together, as part of our life.
