The most common response to discomfort is to take action that results in a change.
Makes sense from a survival perspective...
(especially if you are being pursued by predators.)
BUT... this "habit of leaving" isn't doing us any favors in the pursuit of our best lives.
Sure, there will be jobs, relationships, and other circumstances in our lives that are not "right fits" for us...
And, the first evidence of the "wrong fit" will likely be the negative emotions we experience...
stress, anxiety, dread, inadequacy, frustration, undervalued, disrespected...
We use the experience of these emotions to justify our choice to leave.
BUT... when we leave a situation just to get away quickly from those negative emotions, we often find ourselves repeating the experience in the new environment.
WHY?!
Spoiler: Not for the reasons most of us think.
In this episode, I dive into the one thing most of us don't even know we need to do in our haste to leave undesirable experiences behind... and why we must begin doing it if we ever want to stop the pattern from repeating.
We focus on this skill in Vet Life Academy.
