40/365 - Catharsis through uncomfortable

These posts are part of an extensive journey that I’ve embarked on more than a year ago. The centre of this journey has been to do every single day at least one thing that makes me very uncomfortable and I have to be honest, I feel cringy posting, even if I leave out many things from my stories. 

I like writing them, for my kids, but pressing “post” is hard.

I believe the uncomfortable fine-tunes the character and gives the capacity to push mental barriers. Being stuck in a loop where every day looks and feels the same is the opposite of personal growth. That is not evolution and what can result from that scares me more than being uncomfortable. 

There is pride in failing, getting up and trying again. Maybe not immediately after a failure, more likely when you are ready to put the bitterness aside and change the status of that experience from “failure” to “lesson”.

Being “forced” to sit down and talk to yourself everyday is a hard task, let alone putting it out there fresh and ready to be judged!

There is something regenerative about journaling and although I am not comfortable, I am keen to reach a level of introspection I never thought I was capable of.

I hope I convinced you to try it. You absolutely got this!
