Productive Discomfort

Moving when you would prefer to rest.

Having the tough conversation when you’d rather avoid it.

Addressing the home maintenance issue that has been lingering.

Prepping the vegetables when microwaving a frozen meal is faster.

Honoring your calendar when you’d rather have a day off.

Going to bed when you’d rather stay up and watch a movie.

Walking the golf course when everyone else is taking a cart.

Walking the dog while wearing a weighted vest.

Drinking sparkling water when everyone else is drinking alcohol.

Growth is stimulated by discomfort. The people who grow the most find ways to spend more time in this zone of productive discomfort. We don’t have to always choose “extra,” but the more we do, the more we build our capacity, and the more we realize of our potential.
