Uncomfortable situations and feelings promote and foster growth as long as it's healthy stress. Like anything, stress is a spectrum and can range from good to bad, it's also not a one size fits all type spectrum either - it's dynamic.

I like this saying because it is, on it's face, its promoting the spirit of a healthy lifestyle whatever that may mean to you. But it falls flat when viewed through the lens of real life.

After all, what parent doesn't think about a vacation from their kids during those really tough days?
