Getting Comfortable with Uncomfortable

As usual, life is teaching me lots of lessons.  These past few weeks, one of my lessons has been to learn to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.  


It has often been said that growth occurs outside of our comfort zone.  So, if you want to grow, you have a couple options.... 

1.  You can take an active approach, figure out your fears, and start tackling them one by one.  This is the brave and courageous approach.

2.  You can wait for life to throw circumstances in your way where you are forced to grow (most of us).  This is what happened to me.

3.  Resist the growth and fight tooth and nail against it whenever you are called to make a change.  This method is popular as well.  

As I’m nearing my due date for the baby, life is getting more and more uncomfortable.  It’s harder to walk long distances, go upstairs and do the things that I usually do.  This has been a blessing and a curse for me.  I’m used to running around and moving quickly through the day.   I’ve been forced to slow down and in doing so, enjoy the process of taking my time to get places.

It’s been hard to sleep at night because there are just no more comfortable positions.  This has taught me the gift of time relativity.  The paradox being that at night, when you’re awake, the hours seem to pass by so very slowly.  If you do fall asleep at your regular time, 5am comes too quickly.  It's funny because both "times" are the same but what you are doing with the time differs and that gives the illusion of time being different.  This has taught me to appreciate the illusion of time.

The more I get comfortable with things that are uncomfortable the more I’m learning about myself and about life.   

This week, do something outside your comfort zone and tell us below what you discover about yourself.
