An article about being in/out of Comfort Zone
“The sun will rise again tomorrow”.
Lately I am inspired to witness my clients growth by stepping out of their comfort zone and aiming higher and inviting more opportunities into their lives. I am reflecting on their growth and also checking in with myself how I am doing in terms of being in and out of my comfort zone.
First of all let me say it’s totally okay to be within your comfort zone, sometimes you need clarity to understand what it is to be out of this zone. Also be reassured that comfort is different for anyone. The general definition “a situation where one feels safe or at ease.” would be universal but how you define where you feel safe and at ease can be different even though its the same topic. So please don’t compare yourself with other people, everyone has their unique way of experiencing and making progress. So acceptance is very important. Also your daily condition will influence how you feel about your comfort zone, happened to me soo many times too.
Also notice when you don’t feel any progress although you tried your best, that’s fine too. Sometimes we don’t see ultimate progress at once, it may takes time and practice to be where you want to be. Embrace the small changes you are witnessing along your way. Being out of your comfort zone, its like making progress towards a goal. Praise yourself for what you have achieved already, the small steps are counting too.
The sun will shine tomorrow again, so please be nice to yourself in this progress. You might have set backs, but embrace the challenge and don’t give up. You will see the light in anything if you look at it carefully. Also I believe its about you look at the situation, will you like to be in dark room or do you use the light switch to shed light where there was none. It s a decision to make.
Also if you take time out of the equation when to achieve being out of the comfort zone, it will feel like less pressure on when you need to achieve it, you will achieve it in your own time. Please check in with yourself what feels more comfortable with yourself.
Comfort Zone is really about setting a new challenge to achieve and grow into more. You will achieve the next level in which you will feel safe and at ease and from there you are going ahead again. It’s a great progress moving forward and into more in life. You can go up and up and remember the sun won’t stop shining, don’t let anything stop you from pursuing self-growth.
I am sending lots of clarity and energy to you.
Please let me know how you are doing along the way.
With love & light,
Sabine
