Discomfort —
it begins as the faintest rustle.
But if we ignore it and keep going,
we eventually find ourselves deeply out of tune.
Discomfort is a sign that resonance is missing.
Yet at the same time,
it may be an invitation to new resonance.
The Subtle Sensor of the Heart
Discomfort arrives in small, quiet forms.
— I don’t want to be here.
— That word doesn’t sit right.
— I don’t feel at ease in this atmosphere.
— Something just feels… off.
And we so often brush it aside:
“Maybe I’m just being sensitive.”
“Everyone else seems fine.”
But that tiny snag —
that’s the inner sensor at work.
The Courage to Feel “This Isn’t Right”
To feel discomfort is not a bad thing.
It simply means your resonance doesn’t quite match the moment.
That’s why the key is:
don’t reject the discomfort — listen to it.
Sometimes, it points to a new path.
Sometimes, a little distance brings relief.
When you feel out of place,
you’re being given a chance to return to your present self.
The “Sound” of Non-Resonance
Here’s the interesting part:
Discomfort is still a kind of “resonance.”
It may not be pleasant —
but it reveals the edges of who you are.
Just as sound bouncing off walls reveals the shape of a room,
discomfort reveals, through contrast,
what you don’t resonate with — and what you long to resonate with.
In that sense,
discomfort may be the very process through which we learn to resonate.
