The Other Side

The other side of uncomfortable is where change happens. Emotionally, physically, or whatever else change can be almost painful. Eating in a calorie deficit to lose weight isn't all that fun. Exercising to gain muscle can be terrible. Going to therapy is bleeping hard. All of those things will help you become the person you want to be. Like jiu jitsu if you want to improve something you're going to have to get beat up. My whole life at this point seems to be an exercise in behavior activation and forming good habits. Setting myself into a routine, prioritizing my tasks, getting enough water, eating a specific way, consuming media that doesn't obliterate my mental state, it just doesn't end especially as you get older. You just keep doing it though, you keep putting yourself into situations that make you uncomfortable so that you can improve some facet of your life. You keep starting in side control because you know that the harder it is for someone to hold you down now, the better your jiu jitsu will be. What will you do today that is on the other side of uncomfortable?
