One of the most powerful skills we can learn is how to sit with discomfort and to stay present with our emotions instead of rushing to push them away.
At first, it can feel nearly impossible. Our instinct is to escape, distract, or shut down. But with practice, it gets easier.
🌱Familiarity: The more you face uncomfortable emotions, the less power they hold. You begin to recognize that feelings rise, peak, and pass.
🌱Emotional tolerance: Each time you stay with a feeling instead of avoiding it, your ability to handle future distress grows stronger.
🌱Self-understanding: Sitting with emotions gives you insight into what you need.
🌱Compassion: Over time, you learn to meet pain with gentleness instead of criticism.
Discomfort doesn’t disappear, but it becomes more manageable. If you are struggling and are in need of support - we are here to help.
