Staying in the discomfort reminds me of the embrace the suck that is popular in the military. It can be so empowering to keep you from giving up when things get tough.
It’s inspiring to read that you repeat the reminder throughout your day. (It’s so much easier to give up than to stick with it!) Doing something uncomfortable and unfamiliar can make you better at other things in your life, too. What you’re doing is not easy. What a motivational article.
Thank you Joy! I totally agree that doing something uncomfortable can make you better at other things. It’s a skill in the end, being able to withstand discomfort!
I love this, thanks for sharing your experience. I work at a women's kickboxing gym and it is such a joy to see people "stay in their discomfort" and come out the other side feeling strong and powerful. Not everyone is willing to do it, but it is worth it. Keep it up! 🥊
