S01E13: Sitting in the Uncomfortable, Comfortably Your Mind Matters Too!

The word "comfort" is fascinating to me because it is an English word that can mean many things, such as a feeling, an act of giving, a state of being, or adding something where something was missing. I used to believe it was one of the most positive words in the English language because it balances the negativity in the world. However, after listening to TED Talks and podcasts about people doing incredible things, I realized that at the heart of all these incredible things was the act of getting out of your comfort zone as an essential part of personal growth. Now, while the stories of people doing hard and dangerous things were inspiring, I couldn't help but wonder why I am afraid to leave MY comfort zone.

In this episode, I talk about how everyone loves feeling comfortable, especially in a familiar environment where they can predict the outcome of their actions. However, I share a personal experience of climbing a mountain that challenged my comfort zone and left a profound impact on my life. I realized that seeking comfort may not always be the best way to grow and that discomfort can lead to valuable self-discovery. While I'm still learning to embrace discomfort, I hope this episode inspires listeners to step out of their comfort zones and explore new experiences.
