Dealing with uncomfortable situations, conversations and feelings can be incredibly difficult and make us want to run for the hills, but getting comfortable with discomfort is one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself.
Having just presented at his first academic conference in Trinity College, Niall became engulfed by uncomfortable feelings when he got the call and in the month leading up to it. However, his mindfulness practice has taught him how to welcome these difficult emotions in. Looking back over this experience Niall discusses his fear that we’re too quick to remove ourselves from anything out of our comfort zone, how we can push through the avoidance to build our confidence and guides a mindfulness meditation to help you sit with your own sense of discomfort.
