21: Discomfort Now or Later

I used to think that I didn't have any self-discipline. That the desire for whatever it was that I was craving was too strong that I couldn't get over the immediate gratification. What I didn't realize was that by giving in to what it was that I wanted in the moment, so that I could be more comfortable mentally, I was giving up what I really wanted - which was to be more comfortable later physically.See, every decision that we make will cause us to feel pain or discomfort now, or discomfort later.It was a lesson that I learned when I realized why I procrastinated so much as a younger woman. Why was I doing that? I was procrastinating because I was feeling discomfort about doing the thing that I was avoiding doing. As a result, the longer I procrastinated, the worse my discomfort became - until it was super uncomfortable.Tune in to episode 21 of the Done with Dieting Podcast to change how you look at discomfort & learn how to get discomfort to serve you in your goals.Get full show notes and more information here: https://elizabethsherman.com/podcast/21Hey!
