NOTE - Discomfort is defined as "slight pain" or "feeling uneasy, anxious, or embarrassed". 

HEADLINES

• "Discomfort" gets a bad rap! 
• People misinterpret discomfort as failure, but...
• ...It's the ultimate marker of success

COACHING POINT - you have to decide if your going to live a life that avoids discomfort or embraces discomfort. 

HOW TO EMBRACE DISCOMFORT 

1. Change your mind - discomfort is a precursor to winning 
2. Change your metrics - winning isn't easy...winning is hard 
3. Win today - focus on what's right in front of you (don't get distracted by the long road ahead)
4. Celebrate progress - little, daily wins build confidence and momentum 
5. Recognize the hard stuff - don't celebrate the outcome...celebrate the hardships leading to the outcome

COACHING POINT - Leaders have a platform to change how followers view discomfort. Followers will view discomfort through whatever lens you do. The way you and team explain setbacks is key.
