Accept your Discomfort

Embrace it. Love it. Welcome it. Cherish it. It’s part of the life experience and a pre-requisite for growth.

Discomfort is healthy, as it forces you to stretch.

Discomfort is educational, as it is the only way will ever learn anything.

Discomfort is challenging, as it dares you to summon your inner resources and respond with equanimity and awesomeness.

Comfort zones are overrated anyway. Remember: Be not halted by that which makes you crap your pants.

How are you practicing intentional discomfort?

What did you do yesterday that scared you?

And what could you do tomorrow that would be wonderfully terrifying?

Deciding to get my PhD...in Neuroscience no less, amidst the screaming unrest and generally bad form of many of the PhD's around me. Getting up in the morning and going to work in a field that is so absolutely different than anything I have experienced till this point, and still taking classes.

What did you do yesterday that scared you?
Steered a sailboat through the channel that was full of buoys

And what could you do tomorrow that would be wonderfully terrifying?
Take my GRE's, put a sail on my 9' kayak, today I was asked what molarity a 38% solution of HCl would be...scared the bejeeezus out of me...but I did it, with no help.
