Sometimes change in life is uncomfortable.  But here’s why I think you should lean into the discomfort.

When life gets uncomfortable and starts changing, our first instinct is to run away from the pain. Isn’t that where fight or flight comes in?

It seems like if our first instinct were to run towards the pain, that might cause a few problems in our life.

But what if instead of running away, we gently leaned into the discomfort?

We often find ways to mask or numb the pain in the short term, but in the long run, this only makes it worse when we finally feel it.

But when you stop fighting, and let yourself soften, it’s almost like we’re gifted with a whole new perspective.  And what was once our enemy we can now see as an ally to greater personal growth and development as a human.

When you stop trying to prevent discomfort and instead face it head-on, the battle fades away and you make peace with the things that once held you back.

You stop thrashing in the water and instead learn how to float, and then you realize that the ocean, what you once feared, can be your greatest source of joy.
