Making the unfamiliar the familiar
Do you consider yourself to be a problem solver? The ability to solve life's problems and live the life you want to live sometimes means facing your fears and anxieties. We know as Einstein said: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
While it may not feel like it in the moment, a little bit of discomfort goes a long way in terms of personal development:
You gain strength as you continue to challenge yourself and take on more difficult situations, conversations, and emotions.
We begin to have confidence and the mindset of “I've done it before; I can do it again” or “I can learn and grow through this.
You push your limits when you try something new.
We find that discomfort is a catalyst for growth.
It forces you to change, stretch, and adapt.
It makes you yearn for something more.
It creates new perspectives, allowing you to acquire new skills and pushes boundaries.
The secret to success can lie in the very thing you're avoiding. The fact is, steering clear of new experiences keeps your fears in high gear. Your previous loss, rejection or pain is the primary motivator for your actions. The way to learn that is to get out there and do it.
Getting out of your comfort zone from time to time challenges your mental skills. Mentally challenging tasks have the biggest impact on the health of your brain. Mentally active people are constantly building dense networks of connections between their brain cells. Scientists call that “cognitive reserve.” Continuing to learn new things builds and maintains these connections.
Be open to new experiences that cause you to see the world and do things differently. The key is doing it gradually.
1) Make a bucket list.
2) Meet new people and form new ideas. “
3) Learn a new skill and get a beloved new hobby out of it.
We can teach you turn down the dial on emotions in the moment so, you can construct your thinking differently to achieve real comfort.
