The truth is, we can survive feeling uncomfortable—it might even be good for us. Here's why, writes ncolier
It seems that we’re no longer willing or able to tolerate feeling uncomfortable. And furthermore, we’ve come to believe we shouldn’t have to tolerate any kind of emotional discomfort. Any situation that could possibly trigger uncomfortable feelings is now viewed as overwhelming, unnatural, and in need of correction.To be uncomfortable is defined as being uneasy, awkward, and literally without comfort.
In this culture, we’ve built up the idea of discomfort into an enormous and frightening obstacle to our well-being. We talk about feeling uncomfortable as if it were inherently unjust, unkind, and unbearable. At the same time, the more we try to protect ourselves from discomfort, the more we strengthen the belief that we can’t survive it, that we’ll be ruined by it. As a result, we’re less able to manage it when it does arise—which, in this life, is often.
We need to be able to manage emotional discomfort precisely because the experience of discomfort is never going away. In fact, discomfort is part and parcel of life’s most meaningful and rewarding experiences. Mastering a new skill, improving our mind and body, building something in this world—virtually all efforts involving new challenges carry discomfort.
