Comfort Zones...

Today I will be ‘growing’ twice - once when I speak on a local radio show this afternoon, and again this evening when I attend a new networking group for the first time - and boy do I feel uncomfortable.

I used to get through these sorts of days by wishing the time away (in X hours and Y minutes this will be over), but I realised that I was missing out on the experience in my eagerness to get through it.

These days I rely on mindfulness, breathing and simply putting one foot in front of the other whenever I am this far out of my comfort zone - it doesn’t take the uncomfortable feelings away, but then again, they’re all part of the growth aren’t they….?
