“If you can learn how to use your mind, anything is possible.”
— WIM HOF, BECOMING THE ICEMAN
Let’s face it, humans like to be comfortable. We are designed to be comfortable. Especially when it is raining outside and you’re feeling cosy. But like everything in this world, too much of anything can be unhelpful and limiting.
Being in new and even… scary situations, our senses are heightened. We feel ALIVE! With this heightened sense of awareness and commitment, we grow. When we put ourselves in new situations that is outside of our daily norm, we create and strengthen new neural pathways.
That is why managing our discomfort, and tolerating our distress can help us in the long run. Next time you are faced with a fear or an uncomfortable activity that could help you grow, know that it’s actually helping you out as a person.
