Episode 153: Get Out of Your Comfort Zone
In this episode of Uniquely Brilliant, Becky Berry and Diana Bader discuss the importance of getting out of our comfort zones.
We don’t always realize that we’re coasting in our comfort zone, so it can become uncomfortable when we do.
For example, it can be our default to stay in a job because it has health benefits even when we don’t like that job. We end up stuck there because we think we can do the job for one more day, then another, and another - and, all of the sudden we’ve been there for years!
Luckily, we do not have to leap out of our comfort zones. We can tip toe out, instead. Once we’ve identified what we are struggling with, we can then evaluate what we are doing now compared to what we would like to do.
Diana talks about tip-toeing out of our stuckness requires us to assess our quality of life factors.
We can start by listing what we do not want to do and why we don’t want to do them as a means of evaluating why we choose to stay.
Sometimes we stay in our comfort zone to avoid conflict and hurting others’ feelings, which is a kind of conflict in and of itself.
To begin moving out of our comfort zone, we can reach for the thing that’s just a little bit out of our reach.
Just say yes to something. What is the smallest thing we can say yes to?
We can also change up our perspective by taking a new class or talking to someone.
Diana also talks about EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, or tapping. She uses the technique to help clients balance their energy.
