I'm Jody Moore and this is better than happy, episode 399, the comfort, discomfort cycle.

Did you know that you can live a life that's even better than happy?

My name is Jody Moore. I'm a master certified life coach and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

And if you're willing to go with me, I can show you how. Let's go.

Hey there, everybody. How's it going today? I want to talk to you about comfort and discomfort.

And the reason that this episode was something I wanted to record is because sometimes I notice myself coaching people in what feel like contradictory ways.

Or I notice myself agreeing with someone who says one thing that feels like contradictory to another thing I also agree with.

I've had that come up a couple of times in the last couple of weeks around this topic of comfort and discomfort and fun and pleasure and ease and challenge.

So I want to dive into it and tell you what I think is the way I think about this.

But lately a lot of these podcasts, I appreciate you humoring me because a lot of these podcasts are me like flushing out some of my ideas.

And it seems like they really resonate with all of you. I did one recently on pride and shame and confidence and humility, which has been so well received.

If you didn't listen to that episode, go back. It's just a few episodes ago. And so many people are saying how they loved that episode.

So this is going to be another one of those kind of like I've formulated my ideas in an outline here, but I hope it makes sense.

That's I talk about it. I do want to make sure before we dive in that you're registered for wellness week because I'm so excited for wellness week this time.

I'm really putting a lot of preparation into how I want to really blow your minds at wellness week in a way that I've never done before.

And it's $19. So even if you have a full schedule and don't think you're going to be able to come to the 90 minutes a day five days a week, you'll get replays that you can watch later on.

If you know, if it doesn't fit in your schedule, watch them that evening or something. I do want you to participate with me throughout the week.

This isn't something to like add to your library of online content. I don't want to clutter up. Yeah, I think even our digital lives cluttered is not a useful thing.

But I'm talking if you want to go through a transformative process and see how coaching can transform yourself even in just a 5 day experience come to wellness week. So you can head to jodymore.com and you'll see a link right there to register for that.

So let me begin by describing like I said, these two seemingly contradictory philosophies that I love and that I live by actually I've used both of these philosophies.

And I've used these philosophies to achieve some success in certain areas of my life like what to me is kind of extraordinary success that I never thought I would be able to achieve.

And then I'm still using both of these philosophies to achieve additional success sometimes in the same area sometimes in other areas of my life where I've struggled.
