So cozy in my comfort zone but so miserable

Successful performers know that the most uncomfortable place in which to be is the “comfort zone”. Anthony Steward who in 1992 sailed around the world in a 5.8-meter open boat was asked to tell when he was the most afraid, and his answer was, “When I was on the island, because I was going nowhere”.

Comfort zones do not allow you to go anywhere. Instead they cause you to experience frustration, resentment, fear, anxiety, etc. The focus becomes inward and you begin to be a victim. The absence of risk is called: the comfort zone. The more you are in your comfort zone the less you are alive. We as human beings are in constant need of challenge. Failing to continuously set new targets puts an individual at risk to automatically get ruled again by the old patterns uploaded by the sub-conscious.

There may be an area or two in your life where you feel there is no traction, no growth. Let’s consider health, eating habits that leave you feeling yuck. Once you decide what it is that you want, don’t worry yourself too much or overwhelm yourself silly thinking about exactly how you will achieve it. Just have your end result in mind – more energy? Optimum weight? A better relationship with food?

 Consider possible little things you can do or change that takes you a bit out of your comfort zone. Small changes start a chain reaction that lead to you experiencing new feelings, opportunities and circumstance that will get you to where you want to be.

 Allow me to share my baby action steps out of my comfort zone and then you write down a few action steps next, for yourself;

- get up 15 minutes earlier and mentally create my day and my body

- drink a green smoothie daily

-Use Stevia instead of Processed sugar

- exercise for an extra 10 minutes

- start up a monthly potluck or support group for people in my community that also    want to create more health.

 What positive challenges can you think of committing to that will make 2013 even better than this year?  Accomplishing a few little things yields greater results over time and they are easier to stick to.

Little tiny change requires little tiny steps

Great big change requires little tiny steps.
