Step into your discomfort zone

Written by miravvi Editor 18th July 2022

We have all heard of the phrase, ‘step out of your comfort zone, and we have all had that rush of nerves that accompanies the thought of it! What comes with discomfort is often challenge, change and a lot of hard work, however, it is the finishing line for a lot of us to reach those life-changing achievements.

With this in mind, it is so beneficial for everyone to embrace their discomfort, no matter how difficult it can seem. Those temporary moments of effort truly make up for the achievement of something wonderful at the end of the road.

Here is when you should truly embrace your discomfort:

When it feels safe

It is imperative to remember this small but vital step. Encouraging yourself to truly move out of your comfort zone is a scary thing and we must keep that in mind when setting realistic goals. If you decide to run before you can walk, you may create a negative relationship with your discomfort zone and it will hinder any future opportunity that may arise. miravvi recommends: Start small, realistic and safe!

How will it benefit you?

When there is a clear benefit that accompanies your discomfort, you will automatically be more drawn to whatever goals you have set yourself. A prime example is that of exercise – although it can be difficult at times it will boost your overall health and well-being in the end. It is important to consider these benefits as they will help to stimulate, motivate and truly discipline your actions to fit the mould that you desire.

miravvi recommends: Encouraging yourself to embrace discomfort and resistance is completely normal to be exposed to in all walks of life. No matter where you are or what your dream goals are, you will never reach your full potential if it isn’t for a little bit of discomfort.
