Pema Chodron encourages us to see problems as opportunities and instead of trying to run from discomfort, she advocates trying to stay with our discomfort long enough to learn about ourselves. Fortunately, she doesn’t say that this is an easy feat but offers encouragement when trying to break the habit of reaching for the temporary “fix” — whatever it may be, that gives relief — always temporary . She suggests feeling and observing our discomforts, becoming more fully present in our lives, learning how to be truly here, now. Only through this process, she says, can we experience the deep joy of being alive.
