Summary

Mindset Monday - Allow Yourself To Feel Uncomfortable If you’ve been watching for a while you know I love talking about counterintuitive methods and how they can help us. So much of our lives we attempt to make easier or more comfortable. Some of the time this is a worthy pursuit, but a lot of the time it’s not fulfilling, can lead to more discomfort in the long run, or just holds us back without us knowing. Avoiding that awkward conversation is comfortable in the short term, but not good for our stress if we keep thinking about it or the behaviour keeps going. Sitting on social media avoiding work is comfortable, but not very fulfilling. And avoiding our mindful minute or mental health rituals can be comfortable because we don’t have to acknowledge unhelpful thought patterns or feel intense emotions. Without it though, we’re mindlessly trapped in our default patterns which hold us back from maximising our lives. This week, allow yourself to feel uncomfortable. Start small, and take breaks as you need to. The more you allow yourself to feel uncomfortable the more you’ll realise that discomfort isn’t life threatening, and on the opposite side there’s a lot more freedom, fulfilment and self-pride. www.thementalhealthplan.com Book A Cal - https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18248924&appointmentType=11286512

Episode Description

Mindset Monday - Allow Yourself To Feel Uncomfortable

If you’ve been watching for a while you know I love talking about counterintuitive methods and how they can help us.

So much of our lives we attempt to make easier or more comfortable. Some of the time this is a worthy pursuit, but a lot of the time it’s not fulfilling, can lead to more discomfort in the long run, or just holds us back without us knowing.

Avoiding that awkward conversation is comfortable in the short term, but not good for our stress if we keep thinking about it or the behaviour keeps going. Sitting on social media avoiding work is comfortable, but not very fulfilling.

And avoiding our mindful minute or mental health rituals can be comfortable because we don’t have to acknowledge unhelpful thought patterns or feel intense emotions. Without it though, we’re mindlessly trapped in our default patterns which hold us back from maximising our lives.

This week, allow yourself to feel uncomfortable. Start small, and take breaks as you need to. The more you allow yourself to feel uncomfortable the more you’ll realise that discomfort isn’t life threatening, and on the opposite side there’s a lot more freedom, fulfilment and self-pride.
