If you haven’t reached your goals yet–for this year or for your life–it could be because you are zoning out, living in your comfort zone.
I’m the first to admit that I thought my comfort zone was very good to me for much of my life. But truth be told, I didn’t have much of a life! Ironic, eh? It was when I decided to step–no, jump out of my comfort zone that the most extraordinary things began to happen. I met the man of my dreams, got married, left an unsatisfying job and started my own business. I have been living happily and fulfilled in my life for a little over two years now and I wouldn’t go back! Oh sure my comfort zone shows up every now and again, more than I would like, but it’s all good because it shows me that it’s time to stretch myself to the next level. Tiny Zone
Does the following description sound like you? You live your life in fear: fear of looking like a fool, fear of appearing stupid, fear of what other people might say, or fear of not knowing what or how to do something. That’s how my life looked. I never set foot outside my comfort zone and therefore missed so many wonderful experiences and opportunities. It is now my quest to help others break free of their comfort zone so that they can have their best life ever. My clients take great strides forward. Sure, sure, initially they are hesitant but they called me in to help them…and help them I do, and for the most part painlessly too. Look, change isn’t easy but it is very much worth it. You can either stay in your comfort zone or stretch out of it for the most unbelievably satisfying life!Here is a step-by-step exercise to move you out of your comfort zone. Grab a piece of paper and write down the answers to these questions (I even provided some examples to help get you started). Oh, not to worry, these can be baby steps. If you want to run, you first need to feel good about walking. These will do that!
