The first reaction to discomfort
is to run away from it, to feel safe.
Often, there is no safer place
than where you are now. Stay put. Observe.
Experience your power within.
If you recognise a pattern of over-eating,
observe yourself, see the effects on yourself.
Identify healthy choices. Take action gently
to become healthier, however discomforting.
Enjoy the results. Experience your power.
If you experience difficulties in a relationship,
at work, in business, with friends and family,
look beyond your conditioning.
Identify causes. Take a decision. Act.
Feel your discomfort. Experience your power.
Real power is what you do with yourself,
How you grow and change to who you really are.
People around you will then change
or leave you alone 'cause they are not ready.
Be the change. Experience your power.
Experiencing discomfort takes you deeper
into your inner self. To connect to your essence.
Beyond the automaton-like behaviour.
That is where real freedom, liberation, is.
Buddha knew this. He experienced his power.
Finally, feel the fear, experience the discomfort,
Prepare, plan, take calculated risks.
Feel your adrenalin, do it. Experience your power,
For greater things to come in future...
Finally, feel the fear, experience the discomfort,

The video above is a good example of how Simon and his friend Dave successfully completed their adventure and gained power from their fear and discomfort.

This is a very interesting topic to which most people can relate. When we recognise its effect on us we become stronger!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment. And yes, I agree with you about how we become stronger. There is much power in being outside the comfort zone and dealing with uncertainty. Some of the best results are produced when we give up living in a world of certainty.....embrace the present moment and go forward with an intention to achieve whatever we are committed to achieve. The heightened emotions created (often unconscious) are in alignment with what we need to achieve results. Best wishes!
DeleteYou are sight in that the first response is to run away from discomfort, even though it is there as something from which we can learn and grow. The trouble is that it's so easy to run away and, once we're a mile down the road, wondering if we should have stayed put, it's too late.
ReplyDeleteIt has to be a conscious decision, taken before the discomfort. I'll try ... :)
