Embrace emotional Pain

Embrace Emotional Pain

by Vicki Garcia on August 6, 2013

We all try to avoid emotional pain. What we don’t always realize is that trying to avoid it only prolongs it. Also, when we try to avoid emotional discomfort, we lose the benefit from it. Yes, you read that correctly. I said, ‘benefit’.
The benefit of riding out emotional pain is that it leaves you with something valuable and new. A new, open (raw) side of you that you may not be aware of. It is in this space that we can grow.
Yes, it’s uncomfortable. However, it is important to remember that it’s also temporary. Lean in, ride it out, embrace it and let it work it’s magic on you.
Keep yourself open to what you might learn or how you might see things differently after experiencing your pain. This is called personal growth and it is so worth the temporary discomfort.
