Emotional Labor List

[Sahil Pandit]

Here is a list of emotionally difficult tasks that could move you closer to a better life (Add to the list as you wish!) 

1.) Having that difficult conversation with someone you care about.

2.) Verbalizing your love for someone.

3.) Saying what you authentically feel, without forcing it.

4.) Being present when there is chaos all around you.

5.) Waking up at dawn.

6.) Sticking to a routine. 

7.) Standing up for yourself when you're feeling afraid.

8.) Looking at what you are afraid of (The root of it)

9.) Sitting in silence, without distractions.

10.) Being yourself when everyone else is conforming.

11.) Pushing past resistance, fear, boredom.

12.) Feeling like you're not good enough, and still pushing through the task.
