Comfort Zone

In my last post I talked about getting clear on your dream. Once you are clear on what you want your life to look like then you have to begin moving in the direction of that dream. Now you don't have to spend every waking moment thinking about it, but you do have to have it in your mind everyday. Moving in the direction of your dream means taking action on the intentions toward getting you there. I really don't care what you do on a daily basis as long as you do something that will give the impression that you are on your way to that ultimate end result. The great thing is that you don't have to be perfect with your intentions, you just have to do something everyday that will get you closer to transforming your life the way you envision it.

Here comes the part that people start to freak out about. "You mean I'm going to have to do something that I don't normally do? But it is really uncomfortable for me to go to those places, I feel awkward and not confident". Welcome to the COMFORT ZONE! Most people are in this place called the comfort zone. That is the place where everything is so familiar and I know everything about this place. I feel at home in this place. Well I'm here to tell you that in order for you get out of this place you are going to have to do things that are uncomfortable.

By taking action on the things that make you uncomfortable you are now expanding your comfort zone. When you expand your comfort zone it feels weird and frightening, but you want to here something crazy? When you finally do get out of that zone, then the things that you were afraid of....disappear. They become easier and easier to deal with. When you look back to how afraid you were, you start to realize that there was nothing to be afraid of. Then once you get past that first fear you are in a position to conquer them all because you did it once and you are still alive.

If you want to get to the next level in your development you MUST expand your comfort zone. I am still in the process of getting out of several comfort zones and I feel fantastic. I'm doing things that I never thought possible. Writing this blog was one of them. Speaking to people about Isagenix that I would never have approached before because of their profession or income. Learning about social media and how to utilize these tools to propel my business. That was a hard one and I am still learning, but it was the fear of the unknown that pushed me out of MY comfort zone. I am doing the daily things needed to get me to my dream and I can see a difference in myself. As I reach new obsticles I am better prepared to attack them because I took that first step and EXPANDED my zone. Get out of your comfort zone and get into an uncomfortable zone. That is the only way you are going to grow as a person and achieve everything you are dreaming of. Trust me, if I can do it you can do it!
