The more you lean into comfort, the worse you feel. And the more you lean into

discomfort, the better you feel. Hey everybody, welcome back to the Primal Potential Podcast.

I am Elizabeth Benton.

This is our consistency 365 series.

These are many episodes that air between our full length Monday and Saturday episodes because we need to all get in the habit of seeing opportunities and seizing opportunities every day to make this day a day that moves the needle in the direction of your goals.

Instead of just taking advantage of the days where you have more time,

the days where you're in a better mood, the days where you feel more motivated, the days where you feel the

pressure to change every day. Every day. Today I want to share with you something

from Ross Harkness and it says, it's called the Comfort Paradox.

The more you lean into comfort, the worse you feel.

The more you lean into discomfort, the you feel so that thing you know you need to do

Do it when you're tired do it when you don't want to do it when it's raining do it when it's cold Do it when you don't want to. Do it when it's raining, do it when it's cold. Do it when everyone is

against you. Do it when you feel lost and when you have every excuse not to because

the mind needs challenge and difficulty to thrive.

And so no matter what happens in life,

so long as you do what you know you need to do, you can go to bed knowing you shouldered responsibility.

You met your standards and you gave the world all you could.

Lean into discomfort because doing difficult things

is as essential for the mind as oxygen is for staying alive.

Again, that's from Ross Harkness,

and I think that it's really true.

We have this idea that if we do hard things that it's going to be so hard and it's going to be so awful and we need to resist these things because, oh, it feels so hard and why does it feel so hard?
