“Outside of the comfort zone is where the magic happens.”

To make lasting changes in my life and start to be the person I know I am here to be, I had to start doing things I wasn’t used to. I had to try new things, stretch myself and do things that scared me a little bit. 

For example to start my own business coaching and helping others I knew I had to start connecting with people who were on this wellbeing, spiritual path. And to do this I would need to go to places and network, or find groups of likeminded people online and actually interact, rather than ‘lurk and like’ others’ posts (which I’d done for so long), or even speak up and show my face on camera. As a highly sensitive, introverted empath this certainly wasn’t easy at first. It took me way out of my comfort zone and there were many times when I almost talked myself out of not going to something, cancelling or postponing for as long as possible. But I persisted and now I’m moving onto the next level of my personal comfort zone.

To create change in your life you sometimes need to get out of your comfort zone and try something new, gently moving yourself into a new area. Use your intuition to help guide you or perhaps even look at people that inspire you to help you take those first little steps into the unknown.

It might be scary at first, but you will feel amazing and so proud of yourself once you’ve done it.

Where are you settling into a comfortable space? Where can you stretch yourself and do just one thing that’s out of your comfort zone?
