BREAKING COMFORT ZONES

A comfort zone is a place to feel safe in. It’s that place where all of your 5 personal healths are safe and uninterrupted. It’s contentment, does not require much energy, and it’s soothing to the soul. A comfort zone is a must have for a peaceful environment and for retreat and balance. But living in your comfort zone is counterproductive to your growth on a soul level. Just as muscles atrophy without use, all areas of your life will experience this same type of atrophy. Spiritual, Emotional, Physical, Mental, and Social atrophy exists.

It’s human nature to avoid situations in which we might be rejected, humiliated, or might fail.
There’s nothing more difficult than asking for a raise or a promotion, saying no to your superior that is asking you to do the extra, presenting a project in front of new clients, confronting a co-worker or having to public speak at the next meeting in front of all the managers. To live with a sense of freedom is to live without fear. One of the most difficult barriers to overcome is to face your fears. Understand though, that life expects certain things from you in order for you to get the things you want out of life. We will be faced with obstacles, and in order to get that promotion or be free of the issue, the obstacle will continue to manifest over and over. The only way through it is through it. Want to overcome it? Face it. Make yourself do it. One of my most favorite quotes is "Fortune favors the bold." ~Julie
