Discomfort | Day in the life RCD

Hello RCD readers,

The week began with me overtired and sleepy. I had an fun weekend. My youngest nephew turned four. And celebrating his birthday with him for the second time after his first birthday. He enjoyed every second. From playing in the kids pool. To bringing him to the playground and last singing happy birthday to him. He began to get shy of it all. Which was the cutest. It was worth it being super sleepy on Monday. 

Now why the theme of this blogpost.

Discomfort for me and discomfort for other's. 

Let's begin with me. Yesterday I felt weak and nauseous out of nowhere. Ofcourse I kept thinking of medical issues it could be. After resting and doing something for the cramps. I felt real discomfort. And a light bulb hit. Is this spiritual and not medical.

Discomfort is a tool for my body to tell not to be cautious but to be more present and aware of my surroundings.  Especially when something is new. Or project's are flowing. Or the weirdest thing life is going chilled. My nervous system hits and it's like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

And something hits me. My emphasis "peace of mind". It's not the purpose to have everything in life go as good like the perfect hallmark movies. The healed version of me is being okay in the chaos. That is when the Lord steps in for me. His presence. Go to God first. Lay my insecurities.  Lay my nervousness.  Lay my anxious heart. Lay my negative mind. All of it. Lay it before His feet. That is living with God. And not just having Him be a part of somethings in my life but everything.  

You would think you only need to go to Jesus when times are hard. But no. For me I want Him very present in my daily life. 

Discomfort is a simple tool of growth

In the story of Job, suffering is presented as a test of faith, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of God.  And also experiencing His presence if you let Him a part of the conversation. 

Now let's talk about making other's feel a little discomfort.

Yes this is inspired by a reel. Not talking about in general because I have a lot of supportive friends, family etc. So this is for the few. The reel was about people asking for advice or services because they know you. And when you write out an invoice they are shocked because they wanted it free. What also stook out and I could reminiscence is that the person said they don't see your career as a real job. They don't respect it. So they will never want to pay for something they don't even value coming from you. And that hit. Being the youngest I almost always get underestimated.  My advice is asked multiple times towards other's just to be sure. I'm seen as the one who is trying something and still have to find a way to her corporate steady job because I'm struggling for them. Ps. Nobody actually knows how I'm doing. Now that's the discomfort I'm willing to create. I don't share my growth at all to people that don't believe in me. They have no clue because I don't let them. If you don't see my potential than you will never cheer for me or really support me. So sharing that part is a waste of time. Stop sharing and let  your success make noise.

Have a blessed day
