Well I survived my first day of my new commitments, and you know what? It wasn't that bad! I'm not saying that it was easy. If I did ... I'd be lying! Every time we start new habits it is very uncomfortable, but if we continue to do things the same way over and over and follow our old habits ... we can expect to live with the uncomfortable feeling of never achieving more.

Big Bird’s Guide to Change Management - Learn your A, B, C, Ds
In the 1950s, psychologist Albert Ellis introduced Rational Therapy in which people were taught the A-B-C-D approach for dealing with uncomfortable situations.

Painfully Employed: They got it bad and that aint good
When I was 13, I heard my great aunt say that she purchased an expensive car because she hated her job and needed an incentive to stay. Years later, when I struggled with my own discontent and watched others struggles with theirs, her words resonated with me. I may have been gainfully employed at the time, but I felt painfully employed.

Three words, "comfortable being uncomfortable," and one quote, "if you don't know what port you are sailing to, no wind is favorable," summed up my painful employment.

This article explains why sometimes, making a promise to your own business is a way of forcing yourself into such situations to unlock the real potential behind your business.

The Best Technique To Train Sales Reps
Here are some of the reasons role-playing really works. First, it puts salespeople in situations they don't face every day, re-familiarizing them with the right methods for handling difficult objections. Role-playing is also good medicine - part of the reason it's successful is precisely because it makes salespeople a little uncomfortable and forces them to stretch themselves. It's also the best way to build empathy for customers - in a typical role-play, one of your salespeople is playing herself, but another is playing a customer, and will likely bring "pretend" challenges to the exercise that replicate the real challenges he's faced in the field.
