Hi, Thomas here. Welcome to this moment of reflection and journaling on our journey of seeking discomfort. Reframing the way we perceive discomfort is a way to move through any stuckness we experience. Stuckness can feel like we can't see the path forward and don't know what step to take next. So for this reflection, let's try to understand the discomfort we've been working on through a different lens. When you're ready, let's grab a pen and paper and take a moment to reflect or journal. Just like with fear, what's this discomfort trying to protect you from and why does it make sense for you to go beyond that at this time of your life? We'll give you a few minutes now to reflect on this, but feel free to take whatever time you need.
