I Didn't Forget About Sharing!

Well, well, well, as you all know, I am a firm believer in things happening for a reason.  Today at work I was talking to a rep about stepping out of your comfort zone and was reminded of this blog.  I looked and realized I had not posted for three years!!!  What was I doing all that time?  Well, a lot has happened but I won't share it all now so I have content for more posts.  Haha!  I guess this conversation happened to kick my blog butt back into sharing and inspiring.  And I have a feeling some positive personal benefits will arise that I have been needing in my life.

So let's go back to that stepping out of your comfort zone discussion.  How often do you not try something new because of the uncertainty of it all?  It can seem so much easier to just remain in our daily lives and tasks because we know these, we know how to tackle them, and we (generally) know the results we will get.  However, there is so much more outside of us than we even realize!  Stepping outside our comfort zone helps us grow as a person and we can learn so much about ourselves.  (Maybe you actually like that food you thought was gross since you were a kid)  Not only that but in my experience, most of the time outside my comfort zone isn't scary at all,  the unknown only seems that way!  Often times it is actually more fun than the comfort zone was!  And you know what, maybe you were right.  Maybe this new thing isn't for you...but now you can say you tried instead of wondering for the rest of your life "What if?"

I challenge you to do one NEW thing once a week (do it more often if you are up to it) for the rest of the year.  It can be as simple as taking a new and different route to work, trying that new restaurant, going to the movies alone, or even speaking up about something that has been on your mind but you have been afraid of the reactions.  Let us know how it goes if you are brave enough to share!
