The comfort zone...
A while back, I asked the question "are you in the comfort zone?"
I also warned not to go there, and above all not to stay there.
But the larger question is how do you get out of the comfort zone? A plan of escape is needed... let's take a closer look.
First of all, let's see what this place looks like... we've heard it referred to many times so it may be a real popular destination...
It seems to be comfortable, easy, safe, no extra energy required, and little opportunity available.
But if it were a garden, it may have a lot of weeds - that is, it may actually be frustrating and annoying.
In the comfort zone, daydreaming is the only dreaming allowed.
The tendency is to overstay. I have done this myself... we often get messages that we have reached our capacity and find no need to make a change.
But my biggest revelation was I didn't know where to go and had no exit plan.
Think about it, when we leave a place we generally have a plan where to go, so a plan to review and explore our options is a good idea. We make extensive plans for temporary exits from our lives when we take a vacation, right? How about transferring those skills to a life-changing endeavor...
It doesn't matter how long we have been in this place…
But why not wake up the subconscious mind and see what's happening there? That way we can get in touch with our creative thoughts and ideas, pairing them up with some action!
