Comfortable getting uncomfortable

January 12, 2021

Are you comfortable getting uncomfortable?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I get it, our comfort zone is there for a reason – it helps keep us safe, stops us taking dangerous risks & holds us back from potential death & destruction⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However the foes it’s there to protect us against – fatal injury, starvation, hungry tigers – aren’t really part of everyday life for most of you reading this…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But your comfort zone doesn’t know that. It feels your fear of Facebook Lives, selling online or investing in your growth & reacts in the same way as if you were deciding whether to climb the cliff face or pass the sleeping tiger so you could catch fish in the river behind him⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As an introvert I LOVE comfort (I’m a loungewear & slippers kind of girl & rarely wear a heel) however to create a successful business I still had to take actions that, although they may seem like my MO to you watching me online, were super uncomfortable for me (the trauma of showing my face online for the first time was REAL)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I challenge you this week – if you have that ambition & desire to create a business you love but you aren’t taking the right actions because it’s uncomfortable… what’s one small step outside of your comfort zone you could take right now?⠀⠀⠀⠀
