When you embrace the unknown, will you be comfortable?!!

Would you be kind enough to share your state of mind at this point? Comfortable? Or Uncomfortable?

Uncomfortable situations happen to us all the time.?Whether we're at a party, don't know anyone, or stuck in an elevator with a stranger, they can be difficult to navigate. Dealing with uncomfortable situations can reduce stress and make them more bearable.

Did this thought just cross your mind? “Feeling embarrassed is also an uncomfortable feeling right? But if such a situation where you feel embarrassed, would you be fine enough to get comfortable?”

Tricky! Isn’t it? What do we do in this situation? Why don’t we try this?

1.?????? Make a joke about it. If nobody's been hurt, laughing about what's happened can help you to see it less seriously.

2.?????? Try to play down or ignore what happened.

3.?????? Talk about it openly and get it out of your mind.

4.?????? Focus on the future and overcome it.

5.?????? Get help if other people are bullying or hurting you.

Further on in life, even simple things like a conversation with a friend or in an interview job question, no one likes talking about what makes them uncomfortable.

Let me elaborate on the second point which most of the readers would have attended! Job interviews! How was this situation dealt with? putting a positive spin on discomfort is a great way of showing hiring managers that you’re able to tackle tough situations effectively and to overcome challenges. When interviewers ask this question, they’re trying to determine how you handle difficult moments and whether these moments affect your overall job performance. By demonstrating an ability to remain cool under pressure and address the problem, you’ll impress them and get one step closer to landing the entry-level job of your dreams.

?Let me give you more and more day-to-day examples of sliding into the uncomfortable zone!

1.?????? At School, you are given a surprise test!! It is indeed a surprise and your mind slides out of your comfort zone to make you think, what to do?

2.?????? At home, suddenly you have visitors/relatives (Who might be according to you irritating/make sure you are guilty stricken for one or the other thing/or the category who just keeps insulting you whenever they meet you)!!! Before you even realize you would have entered the uncomfortable zone.

3.?????? When with friends, suddenly a gang teams up and wants to rag you/want to put you down/want to make you feel sad, for what joy? You don’t know!

But they can visualize you having hit the uncomfortable zone. ?

Do you really know how to handle the above situations of being uncomfortable?

For 1st point, take a deep breath, try to recollect all the answers, and give your BEST! That’s it ??

For point no. 2, how about treating them like any other guests, BEING JUST YOU and not changing for others? Keep yourself intact without much negativity spreading across. What do we achieve by this? Your heart feels contented and happy, that you have just been yourself and showcased the streak of your basic nature.

What do you have to do for point no.3? Just leave the scene or give back strongly putting across the table about your non-liking of the conversations. Safeguard yourself and do not allow any kind of pain or scar to be formed inside you.

Let me share my piece of thoughts on how your success are discomfort are related!

Successful people have a high tolerance for discomfort.

We tend to think of success as a place to which we arrive where life is a bit breezier, and things flow with more ease.?However, getting there is a matter of grit, and?doing so takes a threshold for being uncomfortable that most people don't naturally possess.

However, some people can condition themselves to understand that?being disliked isn't the end of the world, unexpected challenges will arise no matter what you're doing, tolerating your feelings is better than suppressing them, and?not always knowing what's ahead a gift can be more than it is a cause for anxiety.

Here, are the uncomfortable things high-achieving people have learned not to fear:

Discomfort.

Change does not occur without a degree of discomfort, and high-achieving people recognize this. Rather than try to constantly chase feelings that make them comfortable and happy all the time, they evaluate which discomforts are worth enduring, and what the outcome of doing so would be. Most people don't lack drive, they lack the willingness to be uncomfortable.

Tolerating the feelings most people suppress.

What most people fear more than anything else is their own emotions. It is not loss, failure, or tragedy that scares them, it is their potential emotional reactions that make those experiences undesirable. High-achieving people don't let their worst fear be a feeling, they don't let themselves be governed by the idea that they could not handle themselves if they were to experience something unpleasant.

Unexpected challenges.

High-achieving people?test their boundaries, attempt what they once thought was impossible, and question everything. They rarely follow a predictable trajectory. Therefore, they learn to be okay with the unknown, and often, the unexpected. They learn to capitalize on challenges rather than be defeated by them and maximize successes rather than let them slip by in Favor of focusing on the next goal.

Being?corrected.

To be committed to?a life of achievement is to be committed to a life of growth, and to be committed to a life of growth, you must be willing to see when you are wrong. High-achieving people don't let their egos run the show with this one: rather than insisting they must always be the smartest one in the room; they surround themselves with those who are wiser and more capable than them.

Being disliked, often for no logical reason.

There's a saying that you should do what you want because you'll be judged regardless, and to a true degree. What high-achieving people recognize is that people are going to find something to be aggravated by regardless of whether they pursue their dreams. The only variable is whether you actualize your potential – not doing so won't shield you from being a target.

Being criticized.?

Whereas some people let potential criticism defeat them, high-achieving people see it not as a judgment of character, but as feedback. Rather than defending criticism, high-achieving people learn from it and see whether there is a degree of truth within it.

Being misunderstood.

No, your great-grandparents probably aren't going to understand your remote startup, and?that's okay. Being misunderstood is not the end of the world. What high-achieving people recognize is that while clarity and communication are essential, trying to get?everyone?to understand you is futile and therefore, unimportant.

Apologizing when they're wrong.?

A high-achieving person's objective in life isn't always to be correct or superior – that's all ego, anyway. They are not afraid of being humbled, apologizing when an apology is due, and being able to make amends for the sake of the bigger picture.

Admitting when they don't know.

Wisdom does not come from pretending you have it all together, it comes from being honest about what you don't know what you wish you could be doing better, and what you do to learn from those who are more experienced than yourself. High-achieving people?aren't know-it-all they?have a growth mindset, which requires the willingness to be wrong.

Striving for progress, not perfection.

Perfect can often become the enemy of good. Often, people exert perfectionism where they don't feel control in essential parts of their lives. Perfectionism doesn't make you stronger or more thorough or "driven," it holds you back because it makes you nit-pick the small details that probably don't matter anyway.

The opinions of anyone they wouldn't want to switch places with.

The adage that "other people's opinions don't matter" is true to a degree, but what's truer is that only?some?people's opinions matter, and what's essential is defining who those people are. High-achieving individuals value the opinions of those they love, and they take the advice of those they'd want to switch places with. It doesn't make sense to receive guidance from anyone else.

Letting things go.

A project fell through. An old friend stopped reaching out. The business didn't work out exactly as once envisioned. It is fundamental in life to be able to let go at times, and high-achieving people understand this. They are as willing to discard what isn't working as they are to build what might, and striking that balance is what propels them forward.

Failing.

Failing is not the worst thing in the world. It is also not the end of your career or your life. You can only fail when you stop trying.

Living as other people won't, so they can live as other people can't.

You have to be willing to do what other people won't, so you can also have what they can't. High achieving people are not afraid of long hours of work, challenges that arise, mixed opinions, not being liked by everyone – basically, they are willing to withstand the discomfort that many aren't, so that they can reap the benefits that any won't.

Of course, not all discomfort serves a positive purpose or will contribute to your growth. You have to be selective about how, when, and why you’re embracing the discomfort of a given situation and how it can benefit you. Ultimately, you have to find the courage, awareness, and understanding that allow you to see problems and hurdles for what they are: opportunities to grow and learn.
