Becoming comfortable with discomfort

⭐ As I step into this New Year filled with gratitude, for me, the theme that really stands out for 2025 is “sitting with discomfort” ⭐

...And while I would like to believe that I have mastered this art – the reality is – I am still a beginner. 🌈 And as the time is passing – the gift that 2025 and “sitting with discomfort” has given me is – ✨ “more calm”. ✨

So what is sitting with discomfort?

In our corporate life and even as we are growing up – our continued focus is on action, control and certainty... and there is nothing right or wrong about it because at that point in time maybe it serves us. 💫 However, over time it makes us uncomfortable with discomfort. It becomes uneasy for us to sit in situations that just need our presence and not necessarily solutions.

In different phases of our lives - as a leader or as someone who is navigating transitions or experiencing infertility - there is a need to –

🌼 Resist the urge to prematurely solve problems
🌼 Exploring instead of shutting down
🌼 Just listening without the need to immediately reassure
🌼 Being comfortable with uncertainty and inherently knowing that this isn’t failure

......And being okay with discomfort enables us to do just that.

☘️ For a leader this creates space for making more humane decision, build deeper trust and lead with empathy.

🍀 For a woman experiencing infertility the ability to sit with discomfort of waiting, of not knowing helps being present.

⭐ 2025 taught me that discomfort is not something to run away from…it is something to be with… ⭐
