How do you deal with discomfort? Do you run away from it and try to avoid it at all costs? Do you get upset or nervous when you get uncomfortable? Or do you deal with it healthily? I don't deal with discomfort well, but I have to say I'm much better than I used to be.

In this episode I share how an uncomfortable situation in learning something new truly stretched me beyond my comfort zone, and I'm still being stretched. It has to do with learning a new system to record this podcast. Learning this has allowed me the opportunity to now add the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast on YouTube! I'm so excited about this. Beginning with episode 170, you can now access the podcast over on YouTube. (The link is below).

But the truth is, if we never step out of what's comfortable, we don't grow, right? And if we don't grow, we can end up becoming stagnant and lifeless. As we discussed in last week's episode, when God calls us to what's uncomfortable and we obediently follow Him in to that uncomfortable place, He often uses it for our good and growth and for His glory. It may not feel good in the moment, but in the long run, it will be good. We can trust Him, and we looked at many reasons why we can. We also looked at the seven reasons God may allow discomfort in our lives.

So, how do we deal with discomfort?

What can we do to walk through uncomfortable situations and seasons with resilience and grace? We want to learn what God has for us in and through the discomfort, and allow Him to mold us into the people He desires for us to be. We want to be better and not bitter on the other side. So, I share 10 practical ways to deal with discomfort.

Discomfort is a part of our lives, and how we deal with discomfort matters. I pray this episode and the last two have equipped you with tools and hope for when uncomfortable situations and season arise in your life. As always, I'm cheering you on and I'm thankful for you. Stay encouraged, friend. God bless you.
