NOTE

Navigating Discomfort and Acceptance

The key to navigating discomfort is not about tolerating or pushing through the feelings, but rather changing how we relate to them. It involves acknowledging the discomfort without struggling against it, allowing oneself to let go of tension and resist the urge to fight the discomfort. This approach does not aim to eliminate discomfort but to work with it in a different way. By embracing discomfort and letting go of the struggle, the experience becomes more manageable and less overwhelming. The process involves recognizing physical sensations associated with emotional pain and distress, and starting with accepting and working through those physical feelings as the first step towards accepting difficult emotions.
