This week's episode was all about "being comfortable with discomfort". I was joined by friend and "well'practiced transitioner", Sarah Zadigan. Here's a quick recap of our conversation as it pertains to being comfortable with discomfort:
· Growing Pains – the mental pains of growth mirror the physical pains of growth
o Continual Evolution
· We have changed the language of transition – that it’s bad
o Vulnerability
· Practice
o Mindfulness and being present
· Have faith in yourself and in your goal
· Surround yourself with people that will honor your transition
· “If you fail… fail while daring greatly” Teddy Roosevelt
· The opinions of the people NOT in the arena with you don’t matter
o Sometimes you he to Marie Kondo the people in your life
· Express gratitude
· Choose to make the language of transitions positive vs negative
· Transitions are periods of vulnerability
o Strengths and vulnerability are NOT mutually exclusive
· Be aware of the feeling of uncomfortable
o Is it simply your growth
o Is it that you are growing away from those in your arena
· Changing goals is NOT the same as quitting
o Quitting means I’m not willing to put the work in
· If yourself grace and to accept the transition for all that it has to offer
There was so much goodness in that conversation. I’ll simply segue by saying - leverage these points and my conversation with Sarah to Thrive in the Transition.
