And get comfortable doing it.
Start small, step just outside your comfort zone. It could be ten percent harder than usual lifting heavier at the gym, putting yourself in social situations more, being more vulnerable with friends and family or trying creative outlet.
Start a conversation with anyone, publish a post on social media, try a new exercise, new food or study a topic that makes you uncomfortable. These events of micro bravery throughout days, weeks, months and years, stacks up confidence.
Make a list of things that you avoid intentionally, ask what I avoid, why and what’s the smallest step towards it.
Identity expands through repeated behaviors.
“I’m someone who does hard things”, “I can handle uncertainty”, ” I love discomfort and it makes me feel alive”. I am more.
Discomfort forces an action and avoids rumination on the what If’s. Taking the what If’s off the mind only leads to more energy and life.
Master seeking discomfort.
