As I write to you in english you have for sure realized that I do need a lot of practice. :)
I know!
Some of the reasons why I write in english:
- I love the UK and everything connected with it (except football!)
- I am always trying to step a bit out of my comfortzone.
- There is no german translation for words like comfortzone
Comfortzone – such a wonderful place to be!
We all love to have everything nice and easy-going.
And we are happy if everything just stays as it is.
No unconvenience, no fuss, no confrontation…
Only problem: Life wants us to grow!
And it keeps sending us signs to move on.
Maybe you have noticed some weird and unexplainable stuff happening in your life?
Like Déjà-vus, or strange coincidences?
Those are the whispers and if we don´t listen to them, the whispers will get louder.
Until we finally confront ourselves and take a closer look.
So where´s the benefit of stepping out of our comfortzone?
Because that´s where life starts to get interesting! That´s where change and growth is happening.
Or like some might say, thats where the magic begins.
But at first it´s just uncomfortable – like going to the gym.
And as we are all different, we live in different comfortzones. For one being generous is a big step, someone else is frightened to talk to strangers. Or it´s finally stopping to procrastinate.
Here´s the trick!
Whatever you choose to do: The trick is to be conscious about your step and what it does to you!
For example, I´m constantly practising with scary and unconvenient phonecalls.
Today I´m not that frightened anymore and I don´t avoid those calls for days or longer like I used to do.
And it has positive sideeffects on other situations, where I can face and handle my anxiousness much better.
Instant success!
So whatever your daring moments are: with each little step and each try you´ll make a great experience!
That awesome „tadaa“ feeling! Like: Yes! I did it!!! And I survived ;)
And then?
You will see how those experiences will help you change for being clearer, happier and more confident!
Promise, it works! :)
Like Baz Luhrman put it straight back in the 90s:
“Do one thing everyday that scares you!”
Here´s his awesome song about it – it offers great and really helpful advice, besides from wearing sunscreen ;)
With lots of love
