Plan B Sucks! Chris Gardner

Do y'all remember the movie "Pursuit of Happyness"? I loved it then, but there are some stark differences between the reality of the film and the reality of Chris Gardner's life. Watch and be inspired!

Get Comfortable with Discomfort Julie Christiansen

now •

This never gets old. My choice matrix shows up in the therapy space almost every day. Too often we make the wrong choices because they keep us within our comfort zone. 

It feels good for a moment, but every time we make the wrong but easy choice we delay any long-term gains.
Why?
Because of unwillingness to change.
.
Are you willing to give up what's yucky but comfortable so you can have something greater?
.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to have the capacity to make right choices that feel good now AND later?
.
The only way to get there is by adjusting your comfort zone.
.
You will have to push through making right choices that feel UNCOMFORTABLE. It doesn't feel good now, so you have a bit of short term pain or discomfort.
.
Saying no to unhealthy foods feels like deprivation.
.
Quitting smoking is hard.
.
Working out makes your muscles ache.
.
Holding your integrity when everyone else is profiting from having none - feels unfair.
.
Do it anyway.
.
Push through that period of making right choices that feel bad and give short term pain so that you can get COMFORTABLE with delayed gratification - long term gain.
.
Eventually, making the right choice will be easy. It won't be uncomfortable anymore because your comfort zone will have shifted.
.
That's how you create radical, positive, lasting change.
