But if you have dreams and goals and aspirations, That you're not moving forward with, it's probably because you don't want to feel the feelings that come with that.
And if you're willing to feel feelings, there's like almost nothing that you can't move forward with that matters to you. And I like to teach people, silly ways to start practicing this because If I said to you like, Oh, just like, accept your panic attacks. That's not going to happen.

And so you can sort of use that expansion to make space for discomfort. But especially notice the urge to switch it back or the urge to let go. Because that's the feeling we so often respond to. On autopilot. I don't like this feeling. I'm just going to stop doing it. And so can you make space for both the funny feeling of the fingers and make space for the urge to like, get rid of the funny feeling, to go back to the right quote unquote, right way and just be with that.
Speaker 4: Growth often sits just on the other side of discomfort. If this landed for you, please pass it on. And if you'd like the full conversation with Dr. Jill s You'll find it wherever you get your podcasts.
