The Gift That Doesn’t Feel Like One: How Suffering Rewires You

from Make It To Midnight · host J.P. Hovey

Episode 26 is here and we are celebrating the one year anniversary of the Make It To Midnight brand, LETS GOOOO!! In this episode we discuss the importance of suffering. It may sound crazy but it's ESSENTIAL to growing and becoming the best version of yourself. Suffering works and strains the brain in a healthy way building stronger pathways and keeping you sharp. It can seem counter-intuitive but comfort is worse for you than suffering in the long run. We dive into neuroplasticity, how the NAVY SEALS use suffering, what suffering did to Nelson Mandela and J.K. Rowling and what it can do for you. This has been one of my favorite episodes and I hope you enjoy it and that it helps you make it to midnight!!
