E89: Comfort Zones & Avoidance | LCWTJ

Today we will be speaking about comfort zones. There is a difference between a comfort zone and being comfortable. When many speak about comfort zones what they are really speaking about is a space of avoidance where parameters are set up with the goal of keeping them "safe".  On this episode, we unpack avoidance, discover what patterns may me holding us back, and seek new ways of going forward one step at a time. Here is your lifework: Based on this session, set aside at least 10 minutes, and begin to reflect on and consider the following:   Do you tend to avoid certain areas of daily living on a regular basis in your personal or professional life? Examples include spending time in healthy activities with friends, resisting making certain phone calls, or procrastinating completing a profitable task that you actually would like to accomplish?   Are you able to identify patterns of overthinking which show up as questioning a decision you've already made or coming up with arguments of defense within your mind?   Do you tend to talk aka think yourself out of healthy activities you'd genuinely like to participate in?   Describe the comfort zones you've created for yourself. In other words, what are the behaviors and thinking patterns of avoidance you practice? In what areas do you practice these patterns?   Now, consider the why beneath that avoidance and at least 1 to three new patterns and behaviors that may support you in going forward to accomplish the very things you've been running away from due to avoidance but would actually benefit you.   Be sure to journal your experience. And feel free to share that experience in the comment section. About LifeClub The Podcast LifeClub w/ Tashima Jones is a feel-good podcast.
