Can stress build discipline ?

[u/Jpoolman25]

I just hate the fact I’m sitting all day doing nothing but mentally feeling trapped. Seems like the mind is winning always. Deep down I guess all I wanna do is take actions and change my life. I wanna go college. Talk to people and make friends even work on my fears because it will make me grow and take me to next level but here I am doing nothing because the mind wants to make me feel trapped in fear, shame and anxiety. And I’m starting to believe as if something is wrong with me. I hate this victimization mindset. I’ve lost so much of my life living this way. I’m freaking 27 now but internally still feel like I’m 22 just finished school. I’m not growing at all. Feels like I’m still stuck in 2016 despite it’s been 8 years now.

My mom said you need to take stress in order to grow. If you continue living in comfort zone slowly you will become rotten from inside. Even little willpower will demolish and urge to change will also go away. You seriously need to take actions which is stress but it’s good stress in a way..i seriously want to change my life for the better. I want 2025 a year for self improvement not repetition of last 8 yrs

Try a martial art, it will give you the discipline.
