Personal Growth Experiment 

Use a journal or the Well-Being Strategies Tracker Form to keep track of your efforts.  

Week 1 

• Each day for the next 7 days, spend 20-30 minutes studying content on embracing discomfort from the module and accompanying resources.  

• Create a list of moments throughout the week when you feel uncomfortable and note how you currently deal with those situations. How would you rate your ability to embrace discomfort? What strategies (from the module or other resources) can you use to try to engage with discomfort more productively?  

• By the end of week 1, you should have a better understanding of how discomfort shows up in your life and your current approach to embracing discomfort. You should also have a plan for how to improve.  

Weeks 2 & 3 

• Take advantage of opportunities to experience discomfort. You could even plan out one thing that you will do each day to push yourself outside of your comfort zone.  

• Experiment with the strategies listed in the module.  

• Write down your experiences (good or bad) with discomfort. Be honest with yourself and be open to any emotions that may come up. 

• Learn from your experiences and make adjustments to your plans as needed. 

• At the end of the 21 days, make a plan for how you will continue to learn about and embrace discomfort moving forward.
