Tis the season for: sweats, blankets, hot tea, and all things cozy.
As humans we lean into comfort naturally. To feel warm, relaxed, cared for.
Discomfort is also a teacher. Have you ever heard it called a “good cry”?
Sometimes we feel discomfort first in our bodies and it’s best to listen. Sometimes we override what our bodies tell us and this leads to more discomfort.
Both are there for our ultimate good and growth: comfort and discomfort, the good and the bad things that happen, the joy and the pain.
Gratitude for discomfort opens us up to healing.
We can lean into the tears, too.
