"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new." - Albert EinsteinWho do you want to be in life? Do you want to be someone who tries new things, sets and achieves goals, and lives life to the fullest?If so, you better get used to being uncomfortable.When we set out to do anything different, try something new, or learn a new skill, being uncomfortable is not the result we want. However, just like we tell our children to get out there and see what happens we need to understand that discomfort and personal growth go together like cheese and crackers.Embracing discomfort isn’t easy, but it's necessary if you want to change, grow, reach your goals, or do anything other than standing still. The first step is recognizing the things that make you uncomfortable and identifying how they make you feel. Knowing what makes you uncomfortable and facing those challenges instead of running away from them is the best way to learn and grow.But knowing why you’re coming up against resistance is not the only way to embrace discomfort.This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover:Why discomfort is an inevitable part of life7 ways we can make it easier to embrace discomfortHow your children can help you get more comfortableThe 4 questions you can ask yourself to shift your mindsetA simple trick to flip your internal dialogue*********************Links mentioned in this episode (some may be affiliate links):Get more show notes (including links to all the statistic sources) at wannabeclutterfree.com/137Avalanche Declutter Challenge - Let go of over 465 things in just one month with this fun challenge. The Home Systems Power Pack - This digital library is jam-packed with actionable workbooks, guides, pdfs, worksheets and more so you can start to make real progress in your home!Tidy Home Academy - When you're ready to take your home & life to the next level, Tidy Home Academy will get you there.
