The Myth of Comfort: Why Doing the Right Thing Can Feel Like The Wrong Thing

In this episode of Words With Myself, we explore the misconceptions about the perceived ease of doing the right thing. Often, doing what is best for us doesn't immediately feel good, underscoring the importance of pushing through discomfort as a natural part of personal growth. The conversation delves into the qualities of true strength, contrasting it with false strength marked by aggression and hostility.

We explore the notion that true strength comes from balancing kindness with the ability to set and maintain boundaries. This episode challenges the audience to break free from binary thinking—being either overly nice or overly harsh—and instead find empowerment in being assertive without aggression.

Listeners are encouraged to seek balance and own their choices, realizing that strength involves accountability and the courage to embrace challenges. By facing fears and discomfort, the journey to personal growth and change becomes not just possible, but rewarding.
