Getting Comfortably Uncomfortable
This episode of The UFFDA! Podcast explores the idea of comfort zones and the correlation between growth and discomfort while we live in a world that is constantly trying to keep us comfortable with the flip of a switch. We go DEEEEEEEP into the science behind getting uncomfortable and how that creates progress and growth in our mind and bodies to, in a sense, get us uncomfortably comfortable so we can get results. This is a great episode leading into the New Year and new goals! Enjoy!
Introducing today's topic: Getting comfortably uncomfortable - 1:53 --> A theme in our previous episodes with our special guests combined with our current team book club (The Comfort Crisis) gave the idea to cover this topic.
Using the long-term mindset to set you up for success - 4:12 --> Often times, the short-term mindset focuses too much on fear and what we're giving up, leading to action steps that don't relate to your goal. Switching to a long-term focus allows you to create a plan with tasks and processes for sustainable success.
How to seek discomfort to achieve your goals - 6:50 --> A meaningful goal must create some form of discomfort. If it doesn't, the goal isn't strong (or doesn't mean) enough to create the change. Tune in to understand how getting into that uncomfortable state is needed for success.
The paradox of the holiday season - 8:00 --> In a time of year where we are focusing on making sure we're taking care of everyone else, we need to create a list of "non-negotiables" to maintain results for long-term success.
Comfort vs Discomfort (Getting Uncomfortable) - 11:15 --> Our culture is designed to create comfort with shortcuts, whether it's from a "Like", scrolling, food, pills, etc. By design, we live in a world that makes it feel wrong to get uncomfortable, which is why a lot of people are being held back from achieving their true life they want to live. This is a topic that was drastically amplified through COVID-19 and behind.
How getting uncomfortable ties into your health and fitness - 17:01 --> Let's tie getting uncomfortable into your health and fitness.
Two major points on starting your journey getting uncomfortable - 19:41 --> We discuss why getting uncomfortable and doing it alone is not a great idea as well as how a coach/mentor can help with the process by creating some comfort as you put yourself outside of your comfort zone.
