Being Uncomfortable - What To Do???
It's completely normal for all of us to want to move away from discomfort, as a matter of fact we are programmed genetically to do so, but in truth there is a necessity for discomfort as much as we might not see it.
You see discomfort makes us want to change things, if we are too happy with our situation, then there is no motivation for us to do anything.
Imagine what kind of world we would live in if people never found reasons to try anything new, if everyone was just too comfortable.
This is very connected to what I spoke about recently, educating yourself. Because when you learn new things, when you try new things you feel discomfort, you feel insecure, and I’m here to tell you that’s not just normal, it’s actually a good thing that you do.
All it takes is for you to frame the ideas of discomfort wisely. If you feel uncomfortable that you don’t understand blockchain for example, you have two choices:
1 - You can continue to be uncomfortable with your investment.
2 - You could educate yourself about it enough to know if you are doing the right thing or not.
The point I’m trying to make is that feeling uncomfortable can be used as a tool for motivation, but it takes us first recognizing what we are feeling, why we are feeling this way, and then actively working to change it.
So next time you are feeling uncomfortable about something don’t just stop there, ask yourself: “What am I going to do about this?”

Could not agree more! My personal practice of meditation led me into a decade long exploration and practice of what I coined becoming "discomfortable" – the practice of turning TOWARDS discomfort to the point the the discomforts of today become second nature in the future. I cannot tell you how much I learned about myself in the process. I quit a high paying gig and worked for a non-profit for nothing/peanuts at times, picked up all sorts of new life and professional skills, and I came out on the other side nearly unshakeable. My user name literally means "Fearlessness" and it's not because I've transcended all fears, but rather it's a constant reminder that Abaya IS the goal!
As requested, +1 resteem from this reader. Make it a GREAT weekend my fellow steemian!

It is very easy to say this sentence, but to live it, in its daily life, is completely something else. Your success, your happiness and your level of abundance are in your ability to become comfortable in your zone of discomfort and to always go beyond when you have to realize what is important to you.
Put yourself in danger, take risks, it is extremely stimulating but sometimes disorienting! Better to equip oneself, to surround oneself, to celebrate and then to continue to push our limits. This can only be done through a lot of failures and perseverance. What happens to you in life depends on what you are and the only way to change your results, permanently, is to change yourself.

Thank you friend! Have a great weekend!
Thank you for your post! For me, stepping into uncomfortable zone can trigger big insecurities, but when I trust my intuition and follow my heart this feeling of discomfort starts to disappear and transform into something higher, it develops my stability, confidence, faith in myself and in life, it expands my world and usually a lot of wisdom and inspiration comes from this step out of my comfort zone... but most humans fear change and prefer to stay comfortable and secure, it just feels good...for some time... until you feel stuck, frustrated and the world has become to small for you...then an external crisis happens in your reality to shake your bootie and make you step away from your comfort zone... peace
Thank you @xianda. Regards!
Completely agree being comfortable might make us amotivated and lazy.
When we are exposed to discomfort or a challenge this might make us think something new and bring best out of us.
Agree! @moghul. Regards
When an individual stops seeking education and development, that is when the declines starts for opportunities. I would also think that learning the unknown provides additional perspective that could help in decision making when it really matters. Our single best asset is our minds and the human capital generated from it.
Exactly @newageinv. Have a great weekend!
Dear @chbartist sir!
Different types of impetus are found in the person. The discomfort is also one of those impetus. Discomfort is felt only when there is lack of confidence in us, there is no knowledge about subject matter, unable to recognize their potential, fear is hidden within the mind, think better to others than ourselves.If you have a conversation at a psychological level, of course, it will point to these factors.You gave a good example of Black Chain. In the early days, I did not even know about this blockchain. Something was uncomfortable in writing and posting. Then slowly, some good people like you gave inspiration, increased excitement and removed my discomfort.Geniuses are in everyone. They are unable to fully exploit due to their incompatibility. By strengthening our mental state today, by awakening the belief, by controlling the tendency of the rest, by removing fear from mind, we can control it.Regards
Brooks was uncomfortable after he got out of Shawshank and look how that turned out...
Staying positive is the most important part! The next bull run should start soon!
Obstacles on our roads make us stronger 💪❤️
If we look at the stages in childhood development form birth to the ages of 2, A child actually adapts better than adult in the face of discomfort because at that tender age, he has no experience or definition of what is comfortable or not.
Basically one can argue that discomfort arise from pain or bitter experiences which we immediately want to put an end to, but the question we need to ask our self to better have a grasp of this feeble reality called discomfort is what make you uncomfortable in any circumstance or situation.
Then you can work towards it to address it.
Its all in the mind
