“I think goals should never be easy, they should force you to work, even if they are uncomfortable at the time.” -Michael Phelps

For us to grow we have to do uncomfortable things. It’s one of the easiest ways to become better. Do something you don’t want to do. 

Have that conversation you’ve been putting off. Send an email to someone who inspires you. Do an activity you’ve always wanted to do but put off. 

It shouldn’t feel easy. You shouldn’t feel comfortable doing it. You’ve never done it before. It won’t be fun at first. 

It’s all about repetition.Challenge yourself to do one uncomfortable thing per day. Start out easy at first. Start a conversation with someone new. Something as basic as saying hi.

Each day add on to it. Soon you’ll consistently doing uncomfortable things and they’ll feel very comfortable. It will take practice and hard work. 

Like anything though, after you’ve put in he work, it will be worth it.

Have fun being uncomfortable. Force yourself to get outside of your comfort zone. It will change you.
