Expand your comfort zone to keep growing!
It’s time to stretch yourself and see what more is possible. You simply need to move outside your comfort zone and create new experiences that energize you and help you to keep growing.
As you stretch beyond what you’ve mastered you create more optimal experiences and move into a state of flow. This happens when your experiences fully engage you and leave you feeling energized. So push yourself a bit this week. Commit to taking action so you can see what life has to offer when you lean into it. It’s fun.
- Find one way to move outside your comfort zone today. Start small and simply stretch yourself.
- Notice what it feels like as you stretch a bit. If may feel a little uncomfortable at first. This is normal and a sign that this is just what you need.
- Now, make a list of new ways you will stretch yourself this year. Start small and keep gaining momentum. Build up to creating new experiences that really expand the way you see life. Put your ideas into action again and again.

OK. I am going skiing with my family next week. At 42 and having skipped last season and having grown up on the prairies (see, I am up to 3 excuses already), I was really thinking I might just bring a good book and watch them ski from the comfort of the chalet couch.
I am inspired to dust off my equipment, sign up for a refresher lesson and put myself back out there. I know I will feel better having regained my confidence on the slopes and I will carry that back with me to the rest of my life.
