Purposefully Uncomfortable

Reflecting on some of the most satisfying controllable experiences of my life in the last few years, I realized that they came from putting myself willingly in situations where I knew I would feel uncomfortable. These ran the gamut - in interpersonal relationships with family or coworkers, with kids, in physical tasks or workouts, at work - there was always an element of discomfort, accompanied by a voice inside me that wanted me to shrink away. I'm glad I pushed through - many times with help from important people in my life. This blog aims to be a chronicle of such efforts - and in self-referential way, an outlet to get over my discomfort of articulating my thoughts to a general audience. While I hope to share experiences where I pushed myself, there will be many seemingly random musings - all tied to getting past the discomfort of writing regularly.
