Summary: On this episode of Act To Live, Scott and Jaime talk about the human tendency to avoid pain and suffering. Scott introduces a book by Stutz and Micheals (The Tools, 2013) in which they term this tendency - staying in one’s comfort zone. Scott discusses the book's recommendation to “Bring It On” and allow ourselves to begin to move toward, sit with, and eventually walk through pain and suffering. Jaime and Scott talk about their own experiences and struggles with this very behavior.
ACTion Event of the Week: Take a few minutes to think about something that causes you pain or suffering. As you sit, recite the affirmation “Bring It On” aloud. Notice what you think and feel as you do so.
