UNCOMFORTABLE FEELINGS CAN BE GOOD
Uncomfortable feelings can be good
It is important to understand that any process of change involves discomfort.
The thoughts and ideas impressed upon your subconscious mind determine your vibration or feelings. When you entertain new thoughts and ideas about what you really want, they will not be in harmony with your old conditioning or habitual way of thinking. These opposing vibrations will cause uncomfortable feelings (feelings are conscious awareness of vibration) and will generate self-doubt and fear.
The normal temptation is to step back into your comfort zone, or usual way of thinking, to avoid the discomfort. While the comfort zone may not hurt, it holds you back from realising your true potential.
As Abraham Maslow observed:
You will either step forward into GROWTH,
or you will step back into safety.
Stepping back into the comfort zone is to permit your conditioning (a composite of the habitual way of thinking of your peers) to prevent YOU from being all you can be.
Your Higher Self (spiritual side of your personality) is always for growth and expansion; your old conditioning is holding you back. The self-talk is relentless: “Who do you think you are? You can’t do this. You’ve tried this before and failed. You don’t deserve success“ and on and on.
These uncomfortable feelings are a reflection of your conditioning, not your potential. They are the body’s natural response to the different vibrations of opposing thoughts and ideas. A good question to ask is “Does the belief I currently hold, which is in opposition to my new thoughts and ideas, move me closer in the direction of my goals?” If the answer is “No”, consider the matter carefully.
Although there is a risk to stepping outside the comfort zone, there is a risk to playing it safe. It means you never get what you really want.
