The Courageous Life
[Re-Release] Practicing Courage #32: Choosing courage over comfort
At the end of each day we do a mental scan, reviewing our experiences from that day.
When people do this, they often find:
- The moments where they moved outside of their comfort zone
- The moments where they pushed themselves
- And the moments where they were courageous
Are often the moments that they end up being most proud of.
Additionally, leading courage researcher, Dr. Jim Detert asserts that when looking back on life its acts of courage that are often associated with greater fulfillment, meaning, and positive legacy.
Today I am going to offer a practice that will invite you to explore a simple process for intentionally increasing the capacity to be with discomfort, and how practicing this in low stakes moments can help strengthen your mind, body, and skillset to help unlock courage in moments that matter.
All practices can be found for free in The Practice Library.
