Embracing Discomfort and Resistance
The podcast discusses how discomfort and resistance often hinder habit change. It explores the idea that when faced with discomfort or anxiety, people tend to turn away from it and engage in behaviors like procrastination, avoidance, or quitting. The speaker suggests that instead of avoiding discomfort, individuals should pause and stay with the uncomfortable feelings for a few moments. By doing so, they can develop the capacity to handle discomfort and embrace it as part of the growth process.
