Expanding Your Comfort Zone

“Life Begins at the edge of  the comfort zone.”  The more you progress on your personal growth and self empowerment journey, the more opportunities present themselves, and the more opportunities, the more you will be confronted with getting outside your comfort zone.

Your comfort zone is just this, “uncomfortable”, but many things that present themselves to you that make you uncomfortable are usually great growth opportunities.  Growth opportunities that will expand your being.  The more uncomfortable you are, the bigger the chance for growth.  For me and many others, it was public speaking.  I got the opportunity to speak while building a successful network marketing business.  The group I was with wanted me to share with others what had made us successful.  Well, the closer the day came for me to speak, the less sleep I got.  I was a nervous wreck the day of the talk and I was terrible up there in my opinion, but I got through it, and people seemed to appreciate what I was able to offer.

From then on I got a little better each time I was asked to speak, however I am still not a great speaker, but the point is by facing my fear, I feel I expanded myself tremendously, and since have been able to recognize and take on more and more comfort zone opportunities as they arose and my growth expanded rapidly.   I had never felt so confident.  I was becoming a new, better version of myself.  I was ready to take on more and more.

Picture yourself as a circle. Everything inside that circle is your comfort zone.  Everything outside your circle are growth opportunities.  Now draw your circle.   Then draw ten dots in equal proportions straight up from your circle.  These dots represent your uncomfort level on a scale of 1 to 10.  Each time you are confronted with an opportunity that makes you uncomfortable and you take it on, rate it on the scale of 1 to 10 and draw a new circle on that dot and add more dots upward until their are 10 above your circle again.  Then you can actually see your personal growth expansion right before you eyes.   It’s a cool exercise.

The more opportunites you take on, the more aware you will become and pretty soon, you will be looking for things to expand your being and empower yourself further.  You too will see a new and improved version of yourself developing right before your very eyes.  It’s a beautiful thing.   Life truly does begin at the edge of your comfort zone.
