Note – Self-reflection

The quote in this article changed the way I perceive and act on my zone of discomfort. Today, discomfort is my emotional indicator for where I still have or want to grow. But I try to avoid becoming an self-optimisation addict (other form of stress compensation).

Before habitually or blindly acting on every discomfort, you can ask yourself, does it make me happier overcoming it?

I'm happy to be an introvert, because it has benefits and that fits my values.

Self-awareness can also help you evaluating every change you plan to make based on your own definition of happiness.
