Jump Out of Your Comfort Zone

I bet you that you’ve been told more times than you can count to try something new and step out of your comfort zone.  Am I right?  Especially when we were kids and teenagers.  However when we are adults we don’t hear it that much...unless we’re saying to a kid!  But guess what, the saying never dies.  We should always be searching for ways to step outside of our comfort zone.

Humans are a creature of habit.  It is one thing that make us great, but it also limits us in many ways.  Think about it.  Do you have a specific parking spot?  Do you use certain phrases without even thinking about them when talking with people?  What about only ordering certain foods at a restaurant because that’s what you’ve always done?  I’m challenging you to take a leap of faith this week and consciously break some of these habits.  Whether it is something small like parking in a different parking spot, picking different food, or saying something different to a person.  While these are small things, there are much bigger ones.  What about your health? How love life?  Are you just going through the motions.  I challenge you really think about parts of your life you think could be better.  Then instead of running on autopilot, make a conscious decision to try something new.  Say something different, try something new.  Maybe a friend invited you to go to a workout.  Join them!

Obviously you’ll want to keep it polite and legal.  I’m not giving you permission to break the law, but step outside of your comfort zone and give something new a whirl.  You never know, it can become one of your new favorite things!
