Recognizing discomfort in creating change

In this episode, Marianne Walker discusses the discomfort that often comes with creating change in our lives. Using the metaphor of her newly done nails, she explains that while we may want something, there will always be a level of discomfort involved in pursuing it. Our brains, naturally wanting to keep us safe and comfortable, will resist stepping out of our comfort zones. Marianne reassures her listeners that feeling a desire to stay in bed or avoid discomfort is a normal human response, and that recognizing this allows us to let go of guilt and shame. She provides three tips for navigating discomfort and creating change: differentiating ourselves from our thoughts, acknowledging that discomfort can lead to positive results, and understanding that adjustment periods are natural and do not imply making the wrong choice.
