Uncomfortable is coming back to the group you started after not posting for 4 months. 😀.

PS: Nike is using Uncomfortable in their new slogan. We were first

I've been working heads down for the last month. Every day I wake up a little nervous and a lot excited. This is EXACTLY where you want to be

I preach uncomfortable but Adam Grant says some of the most relaxing locations are by water. So that's what I built. This was a cornfield when I moved in. Time and hard work turned it in to my Zen area. Pond is right by my living room and the bedroom above. This time of year I hear it 24hrs a days. So peaceful

The weekend is a great time to relax & push yourself physically. During the week is where you get uncomfortable in your work world. Taking roles & jobs you think you might not be qualified for. Force yourself into doing difficult things. Your brain is triggered to work hard when you're nervous. Be nervous, be scared

In the roast of Tom Brady, Kevin Hart said this at least 5 times

“you have to get uncomfortable before you get comfortable”

Everyone is picking up on what we already knew

Today I have to put my mind where my words are. Legs are so tight and sore after yesterday's run. It was the tightest my legs ever felt. I stopped going to weekly massage and I'm paying for it because I didn't want to pay for it. These are the times you have to be smart with your daily choices

Been working the last few days so not much posting. I've realized from here that many people don't know what true uncomfortable feels like. It's more than different. More than scared. It's things you don't want to do but know you should. Not quite sure if you even can. And then you try.

Routine is a driver and routine is a killer. We need routine to become more efficient but we need to get out of it to explore. Managing that balance is an art and we all suck at it some times. I give an hour a day to two things
1. text someone I'm thinking of them
2. to F around and find something interesting

I want to thank @dopemandave.eth for the nomination and @7parsnips.eth for bestowing me the great honor of BIG DOG. It's just a matter of getting /uncomfortable every day. 🙏

I followed everyone who followed /uncomfortable . You put the effort to follow this group, I'll support you with a follow

My entire life I've heard others say "I'm too late". Too late to get into an investment. Too late to become an athlete. Too late to learn a skill. You're not too late. You're too lazy. If you start now you can be the person they think got going early

People are so much more capable of doing things than they think they are. I've heard "they're naturally gifted" or "I wish I had that talent" . It's a bunch of bullshit. You can't teach height but 99% of everything else comes down to the hours you put in to be what you want, do what you want. Skills are made not born

I have given hundreds of speeches but I was ask to give a commencement speech recently. Got overconfident, didn't memorize and only about 10 bullet points on a computer. A crowd of 700-800 people. I look out to the crowd, then look down at notes. Completely blurry. Froze mentally and gave the worst speech ever.

Sharing in /uncomfortable is rewarded. I have plenty of $degen to give to people that share.

Remember in the words of Rhoda Patrick
"The best anti aging pill you can take is vigorous exercise"

“I don’t think there’s any skill more critical for success than resilience"
-Adam Grant

Just a reminder you get rewarded in /uncomfortable for doing hard things

I have yet to look forward to a 4:30 am wakeup for a run. But every single time I'm done I am so happy I did it. Because no matter what the day holds, I got at least one positive thing done

What did you do today that you didn't want to do?

How did it go?

This is more than running or climbing mountains, this is about life. Life is tough and we have to do uncomfortable things for good reasons. Raising kids is tough work. Our jobs. Relationships. Nervous, scared= OK

Crosspost with /running . Had my first run back home. Still getting it done for a 55 year old. Today was the first day of "training" I trained 6 weeks to get in shape to begin the real training. Imagine that, having to do hard things just to be ready to do hard things

If you haven’t heard of Lou Whittaker, he was one of the world’s best mountaineers. I used him and his guides on most of my climbes. Great article

Got caught in a blizzard at 10,000 feet. Slippery , dangerous , and nervous as hell. My wife said she switched to manual the other day and downshifted the hills. It worked perfect. Went from nervous to enjoying working the gears up and down the slopes .

Your mind is a governor. Its job is to protect you. To protect you from hurting yourself mentally or physically. Uncomfortable scares it. The only way to take off that governer is to show it you will be ok. You do that by completing a hard task and surviving. Only then will it let you go and do more

You want your kids to do hard things? Teach them its the norm. My running friends and I climbed Rainier and said as soon as our daughters were old enough we would take them climbing. And we did. 3 female guides, our 3 daughters, and we climbed Baker and Rainier. She's been climbing ever since

It's scientifically proven that doing challenging things grows the part of your brain that controls motivation and many of our senses of wellbeing. In short, choosing things things you don't want to do or are scared to do, makes you better

One of my proudest moments was my daughter calling me and saying she gave a speach. I asked her how it went. She said "I was pretty sure the crowd could hear my heart beating. I thought I was going to throw up. It went pretty bad". "But the next one will be way easier now I know I'm not going to die"

Welcome everyone to join the group /uncomfortable where we tip for doing things that are hard. Going into the unknown and the uncomfortable is how you get better. Scared? Good. I was scared to death on my first climb in this pic. Now I yearn for the hard climb
