Maybe this is overthinking but sometimes I think that it’s better to put yourself under pressure, especially if the pressure is self imposed. That way, you have to grow and get stronger to deal with it, but if you fail then there isn’t any major consequences.
I agree to a certain point. One of the most discouraging things I've learned though is that you (especially actually I), kinda never get used to this - no matter how many times you get out of your comfort zone, it's stil a huge step each time and it never becomes easy. No point in giving up though, just gotta swallow it
it's good to challenge yourself, but i wouldn't say seeking to stress yourself out is good
not stress, just uncomfortable situations that are beneficial (or necessary) for growth.

when people tell you to hit the gym they are telling you to purposefully put yourself under stress, physical stress, which leads to benefits of the mind and body
when you practice a breath technique like wim hof you are purposefully putting your body under stress that similarly leads to benefits
the same goes for cold exposure, heat exposure, uncomfortable social situations, learning a new skill, and many more
of course it makes sense to seek out stressful situations
If you learn something from it or gain a deeper insight then there is nothing wrong with putting yourself in that situation. It'll help you grow sometimes the best growth comes from pain
Yea just have to decide what growth is important enough to do this for. And learn to enjoy the stress bc you know what it’s going to bring long term
You can't be the person you want to be in the environment that breeds the version of you that you wanna get rid of

yep this is why once a year I ditch my phone and I hit the streets with one change of clothes, $10 cash, a pocket knife, and 3.5 grams of meth. I try to go at least ten days essentially living homeless with only these things in my starter kit. Obvs I can use these tools to accumulate more resources and such
