It doesn\u2019t matter how big or small the situation is. It doesn\u2019t want you to grow. It thinks it is \u201cprotecting\u201d you when it says, \u201cYou shouldn\u2019t speak up for yourself.\u201d It is not protecting you. It\u2019s trying to keep you in the \u201chell\u201d you have created for yourself in your mind. It\u2019s trying to keep you from changing. It makes you play small. You must break through your ego&#8217;s lies if you want to grow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\ud83d\ude2bGet comfortable in your discomfort.<\/strong> You must be okay with feeling uncomfortable when you are growing and evolving. It comes with the territory. And it is easy for you when you feel uncomfortable to stop and revert to what you have always done. That is what your ego wants you to do.\n<p>However, when you can be comfortable with the discomfort, observe it, and move through it, that is where true growth happens. It reminds me of lifting weights. When you first start, there is a lot of discomfort as your body becomes accustomed to the exercise. Then, once you build that muscle, the discomfort lessons until you choose to grow some more and add more weight. Then, you keep building and building and pushing yourself to new limits. You realize that the\u00a0<u>discomfort is key to growth<\/u>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\ud83c\udfcb\ufe0fPractice makes perfectly imperfect. <\/strong>To change old stories and programming, you need to practice. You have operated in a certain way when situations arise for most of your life. Once you become aware of the behaviors you want to change, you must keep practicing them repeatedly until they become your default. And every opportunity, big or small, is a perfect time to practice. Returning to weightlifting, if you were learning a new lift, you wouldn\u2019t just do it once and feel like you got it. You would practice it repeatedly until you had the right form and didn\u2019t have to think about it. And however long that takes is up to you. Everyone is different.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u270d\ufe0fGive yourself space to reflect and recharge.<\/strong> When pushing your evolutionary edges, it is normal to feel exhausted afterward. You might even feel like you have an emotional hangover. One of the best things you can do is reflect and recharge. Keeping with the weightlifting example.\n<p>If you want to build a muscle, you exercise and then take a day or two off before working that muscle again. The time between allows you to observe how your body feels, and the rest strengthens your muscles. If you keep lifting the same muscle daily, you will injure yourself and not get stronger. You aren\u2019t giving it a chance to recharge and regenerate. The same goes for strengthening your mental muscles.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stevemagness.com\/do-hard-things\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cDo Hard Things\u201d by Steve Magness<\/a> recently taught me that toughness is how you respond to events in life.
