6 month mindset shift

About 6 months ago i realized that i’ve been handicapping myself by excusing some of my behavioral choices through anxiety reasoning. I realized that there were things in my life i was allowing myself to say I couldn’t do, when actually i really just didn’t want to. I loved my warm, cozy, comfortable lifestyle that I hand plucked for myself to exist in. I had my one best friend so that i didn’t need to do anything by myself or search for people to be there doing it with me. I didn’t really explore new relationships in my life or do new things that made me feel mentally or physically challenged. I liked giving myself excuses for my behavior and blaming society or anxiety for things I was really holding myself back from. So i switched my mindset to running towards the uncomfortableness that is life because if there is anything that i felt i didn’t want to do, then that would become my exact reason to do it. Your mind builds this mental palace that can hold you back and convince you that things are right or okay and it sounds like it’s logic talking, but really it’s your fear; Fear of rejection or failure or being wronged or anything we can use as an excuse to convince ourselves not to do something that can be good for us. Truth is, we grow from being uncomfortable, just no one ever wants to be uncomfortable. That’s why eating healthy or working out or solo traveling or public speaking feels so hard because we let our minds convince ourselves we’re incapable of it before we even really try. In reality, nothing ever changes if nothing ever changes. and change only comes from moments of doing things we let ourselves think we don’t want to do.
