I was exposed to this phrase one day back around my university days while reading and fumbling around the Internet.
The concept was a weird one.
Learning how to deal with discomfort.
Just like how firemen train for emergency situations, we can condition and learn how we react to uncomfortable situations.
I realized that in the future, there will definitely be some parts of life that will cause me discomfort, whether that be little or great.
I figured I might as well start preparing for it now.
I combined this idea with another concept called exposure therapy, which basically was used by people to overcome their phobias via incremental exposures to the fear.
I figured I could learn it by exposing myself to incremental stages of discomfort.
Thus, began another experiment of mine.
Goal setting
This experiment was rather vague. It was hard to measure discomfort.
I decided to narrow down discomfort to just pain, most people are uncomfortable with the slightest pain, especially if they expect it.
