Man, discomfort sucks right?
It feels, well, uncomfortable!
Maybe even painful! Do you feel all sorts of feelings welling up inside you when you are in discomfort? All sorts of negative self talk? Something else?
Sometimes, rightfully so, you should run away from discomfort, especially if it’s leading to a place of pain and harm.
But other times…maybe not…
What if you were to chase discomfort instead? Look at the infographic from Oskar Nowik and sketched by Sylvia Duckworth for how you might benefit.
Discomfort isn’t necessarily bad even if it feels…well…uncomfortable! It could very well signal an opportunity for learning and growth because putting yourself in a new situation or learning something new enables growth through new experiences.
Is it time for you to stop running from discomfort and leaning into it to see what might happen?
