[INTRODUCTION]

KC:  Welcome to The Business of Life Podcast. My name is Keith Callahan, your host. Today, we’re talking about getting comfortable with being uncomfortable.

So whenever we want to make change in our life, the bigger the change, the bigger the thing that we’re looking to do, the more uncomfortable it’s going to be. This can kind of go for any change that you’re looking to do, whether you’re looking to lose a little bit of weight, whether you’re looking to start a new business, whether you’re looking to move to a new area, start a new – like family. Just anything that you’re going to do that’s new to you and the newer and more change it is, the more uncomfortable it usually makes us.

There’s something that happens. So, if we make a big change in our life and the change usually happens through one of two ways; either we choose this change or it’s a change that’s forced upon us. I think that the – one of the most important things is like to actually accept the change and then accept that you’re going to be uncomfortable.

The discomfort doesn’t stay though. So the discomfort is going to be here for who knows how long. The bigger the change, the more extended the discomfort is usually going to be. But it’s not going to stay. It’s not going to be permanent and just thinking about that, the – I’ve had the ability to see a lot of people go through change in their life and myself included. I’ve had the ability to see people who stick with change and those who don’t stick with it. It really comes down to the ability to sit in the discomfort, the ability to be there in an uncomfortable situation and again, the bigger the change, the higher the vibration, the higher the level of discomfort. Even listening to that, right? Like the higher the level of discomfort.

That’s not the most comforting statement. But as we sit in that discomfort and as we sit with the change, and as we do it moment to moment, day to day, week to week as we breathe through it and as we stay present – there’s a key piece there. The ability to stay present. As we do that, the discomfort will slowly dissolve and that’s how we move into a new level.

That’s how we move into a new level of fitness. That’s how we move into a new level of spirituality. That’s how we develop our emotions deeper.

So the ability to get comfortable in an uncomfortable situation, I hope that makes sense. It’s really just whenever you’re making change in your life, accept the fact that you’re going to be uncomfortable and sit with it. So I guess a diet is the simplest way to really hone in on this and to really see it. People start a diet. They have the best intentions. They want to lose X amount of pounds and then they quit. The reason they quit is that at one point, the discomfort gets to be too much. It overwhelms them and they go back to their previous ways. That’s usually what it is. Pretty simple.

If you accept the fact in the beginning that you’re going to be uncomfortable for a short period of time, then it makes it much easier.

All right. Have a beautiful, beautiful day and we will see you on the next episode. Peace!

[FINAL MESSAGE]

KC: Hey, Keith here, and today I have a free gift for you. Listen this free gift is a list of the 12 most influential books that I’ve ever read. These are the books that have helped me to create the mindset, learn the philosophies, learn the skills to really create this big, beautiful, life that we’re living now.

I read a crazy amount of books, I really do. I’ve probably read thousands of books and these are the top 12 books that – they’re the ones that I go to, they’re the ones that I work with over, and over, and over again. They are highlighted, outlined, dog-eared. And I put this list together for you because I want it to be a shortcut.

I don’t want you to have to – you don’t have to go out and read the thousands and thousands of books. These are the 12 that I highly recommend. I have a detailed review for each book, explaining why I recommend them, why I like them, when I worked with them in my life, what part of my life they helped me to improve.

So I put this together for you, and made it super each for you to get this list. All you have to do is send a text to the number 33444 and then in the body of that text, type in “12books” with no space. So that’s the number “12books”. Again, send the text message to the number, address it to 33444 and then type in “12books” as the message and just send that. And that’ll get you setup to receive those top 12 most influential books that have had the biggest impact on my life.

[SPONSOR MESSAGE]

KC: Today’s episode is brought to you by our sister podcast, All About Beachbody Coaching. So All About Beachbody Coaching really allows us to do this podcast without having all those annoying commercials in the beginning for you. So All About Beachbody Coaching, the Beachbody business that Amy and I run, actually funds this podcast.

So yes, it does cost money to run this podcast, we do not charge you anything, we don’t throw in commercials or anything like that, it really is, it’s funded by our business and by our other podcast, All About Beachbody Coaching. And for me, I’m just eternally grateful for this opportunity because it’s allowed me to really create the life that I love to live.

It’s given me the opportunity to do what I want, when I want, with who I want, and even deeper than that, it’s allowed me to help others to create the same for themselves. It’s allowed me to help hundreds of other people become part time or full time Beachbody coaches, to leave that corporate 9 to 5 job and create passive income in their lives.

And really there’s nothing like that. It’s cool when you have success, it’s so much more rewarding when you help others. So I mention this or a few reasons, the first reason is, that’s actually the way that I work with people and mentor people. I don’t do anything outside of Beachbody coaching because I know that it’s such a powerful life changing tool.

So if you’re curious about working with me, interested in working one-on-one, interested in creating the type of life that you wanna live, I suggest swinging over there. The other reason is, even if somebody’s just curious, like you’ve heard about Beachbody, you know there’s a lot of Beachbody coaches out there. Maybe some of them you get a little annoyed with.

It really dives into what this business is really about, which is life transformation. So if you’re just curious, swing over there. And then the other piece is, if you’re really considering becoming a Beachbody coach, I highly, highly recommend you listen to that first.

Alright, much love guys. Again, that is the All About Beachbody Coaching Podcast, our sister podcast.

ANNOUNCER: Thank you for listening to the Business of Life Podcast. Apply what you learned today and you’ll be one step closer to creating the life you love to live.
