After my last post about comfort zones, I hope you started to think about what your comfort zones are and how you can overcome them. For some people it takes awhile for them to come out of their zone, but when they finally do, they start walking with more confidence. As for those people who get off to a fast start, it isn't really about how fast you start... it is simply that YOU DO!
I guess you could call that the hardest part. Having the courage to take the next step. Once you have determined your comfort zone or zones, now it is time to ACT. You actually might not know what to do to get started. Hey, that is a comfort zone in itself, figure it out. That is the base root of getting to the next step. The thing that is holding you back is what you need to overcome. Remember, it's called getting OUT of your comfort zone.
So you venture out of your zone and then things don't go as planned. What happens to you? You start doubting yourself and you want to go back to your favorite place. You either stop or go backwards at the first sign of rejection. "This isn't supposed to happen to me because I'm coming out of my comfort zone". "This is what I was afraid of". No one said it would be easy. If it was easy it wouldn't be uncomfortable.
Once you have thoughts of doubt you better go back and check your belief. Your belief level must increase because that will help you get over those early negative thoughts. No good can come from negative thoughts. I have been practicing on thinking of positive thoughts only and it is making a huge difference in my life. When you change your thoughts to positive all the time, it will change your world. It is a simple concept, but very difficult to do. Master this one exercise and you will never go backwards!!!
