In today’s episode, do you sometimes find yourself restless, feeling a lack of ease, maybe even a little fearful and Not sure how to deal with it? The fact is that we are not very skilled at being uncomfortable. And it leaves us with more, not less suffering. If this episode, we describe How to be more effective at being uncomfortable. This is part 1 of our 5 MINUTE BOOK CLUB series that will appear every now and then in our podcast. We are reading: Pema Chödrön's, What To Do When Things Fall Apart Today we will describe a different way to being with our discomfort so that we can live with more ease and grace upon the life.Let’s walk!  “We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.”Seneca “nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know, she wrote.…nothing ever really attacks us except our own confusion. maybe the only enemy is that we don’t like the way reality is now, and therefore wish it would go away fast. but what we find is that nothing ever goes away, until it has taught us what we need to know. if we run a hundred miles an hour, to the other end of the continent, in order to get away from the obstacle, we find the very same problem waiting for us when we arrive. it just keeps returning with new names, forms, manifestations until we learn, whatever it has to teach us, about where we are separating ourselves from reality, how we are pulling back instead of opening up, closing down, instead of allowing ourselves to experience fully whatever we encounter, without hesitating or retreating into ourselves.”Pema Chödrön “When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised, to find, it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on, to scare away the timid adventurers.”Ralph Waldo Emerson “When we protect ourselves so we won't feel pain, that protection becomes like armor, like armor that imprisons the softness of the heart.”Pema Chödrön
