So many of us succumb to our comfort zones, terrified by the idea of change. Think about it. When was the last time you tried something new, did something a little different? A lot of you will answer “I don’t know”, and that’s the error here.

First of all, I am not shaming any of those who do choose to stay in their comfort zones more often than not – that’s what they are for, to give us comfort and confidence to go on in the world. However, on the flip side, we cannot grow and achieve more confidence without a little change.

We need to push ourselves to step outside our happy little box and challenge ourselves to do something else. We won’t know our boundaries and/or possibilities and heights without doing so. If you’ve been at the same workplace for many, many years, maybe it’s time to try somewhere new. If you’ve always parked in the same space each day, maybe change it up. These little tweaks teach us that change is ok, and makes room in our minds for the possibility of bigger changes to come.

Changes come whether we plan for them or not, so by educating ourselves, in our own time, before this happens, we won’t be as overwhelmed or frightened when a big, unstoppable change comes flying our way.

This blog post isn’t designed to scare you, but rather to be a comforting light to come to if you feel this is happening to you right now. Comfort zones are good, and they are something we can always fall back on, but try each day to expand these boundaries, push a little further out, so that we can achieve bigger and better things each day.

Sincerely,
