This really resonated with me.

I’ve done Bikram yoga, too, and I remember the discomfort. The way the heat makes you want to run, and also teaches you not to. It’s wild how, over time, you stop resisting the heat and start embracing it. That lesson has stayed with me far beyond the mat.

I live with anxiety and self-doubt, and you’re absolutely right: growth doesn’t happen in the cozy, curated zones. It happens when you stay with the thing that scares you just long enough to realize you can.

Thank you for putting this into words.

I needed the reminder: feel the fear, and do it anyway.
