Here's The Thing About Pain And Discomfort In Life...

Do you enjoy pain? Most people don't, and it makes sense. Pain hurts. Pain is uncomfortable. Pain isn't something that a sane person wants to run towards. Yet, what if I told you that pain was inevitable....that whether you chose to step up, stay put or step back, pain would be present. Would that change the choices you made? In today's episode I share with you the illusion of pain, and how we trap ourselves believing that we are avoiding pain.  A quote from the psychiatrist R.D. Laing sums it up nicely: “Pain in this life is not avoidable, but the pain we create avoiding pain is avoidable.” If you want to reach out to me with episode topic suggestions, feedback about the podcast in general, or just to say hi, you can do so in two ways: Email me at [email protected] DM me on Instagram @matthew_bivens Learn more about your ad choices.
