The more I protect myself from healthy discomfort, the less resilient I become.
It’s easy to feel good when everything is okay. Ive stayed because it’s familiar.
Familiar disguises itself as comfort.
Sometimes I convince myself I’m doing the inner work because it feels hard.
Unhealthy hard.
There’s a difference.
The devil in disguise shows itself when nothing is being asked of me.
What is healthy hard?
Growth. Challenge. Voluntary difficulty. Honest reflection. Responsibility. Humility.
Doing hard things with intention. Cut right through the center and smile on the other side.
Sometimes I don’t need more balance. Not another healing modality, or gimmick to regulate the nervous system. Developing a range to hold the capacity to show up in life deserves a seat at the table as well.
Find the friction. More resistance.
Breathe. Use the tools. Stop collecting them.
Discomfort is the compass.
Pay attention to where it points.
Maybe this is for you?
Maybe this is for me 😜
Sincerely,
NC
