Visit Your Comfort Zone (If You Must), But Don't Stay

Where does life begin? Life begins on the other side of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch). Quote after quote reminds us of the perils of the comfort zone. But what is less apparent is that the comfort zone actually serves an important purpose - if leveraged appropriately. Listen to this episode to learn when and how the comfort zone can be useful and what to watch out for so that you do not get stuck in the comfortability and miss out on the life you dream about. If you must retreat to the comfort zone, remember it's okay to visit (if you must), but don't stay. I leave you with 5 things to remember about the comfort zone and resources that can help you if you feel you are stuck.  One tip to remember is: If you have to visit the comfort zone, just imagine yourself as a NASCAR driver at a pit stop. Refuel and get back on the road to finish your race.  Books recommended in episode: Start Before You're Ready (Mick Spencer); You are a Badass (Jen Sincero); Shoe Dog (Phil Knight); Happier (Tal Ben Shahar); Daring Greatly (Brené Brown); and Grit (Angela Duckworth).  I invite you to join my private Facebook group, The Aha!
