WHAT IF IT'S REALLY OUR "DISCOMFORT" ZONE WE NEED TO STEP OUT OF??

I was just thinking that we are told all the time to step out of our COMFORT zone if we want to get ahead in this world! I have always accepted this idea as sound. It implies that success only comes to those who get uncomfortable by doing things that they are afraid to do...things that no one else is willing to do. If, however, we are working toward reprogramming our subconscious mind with positive thoughts and visions of our life as we want it to be, perhaps the thought of leaving comfort for discomfort is a little bit like spitting into the wind. (Yes, I could have come up with a more pleasant visual, but that's the one that came to mind so I'm going to run with it.) Anyway, how about we look at the daily grind of our lives that we are so familiar with...the soul destroying repetition of "motions" that we go through, as the REAL zone of DISCOMFORT, and imagine that all the new and exciting "unknowns" out there actually form part of our new COMFORT zone. How much more effective to see our present situation as it really is for most of us...a place we want to leave behind...and see the new things we do and see and learn, as we create the life of our dreams, as part of a place of comfort, excitement and fulfillment! It boils down to semantics, I know, but perhaps switching the words "comfort" and "discomfort" in our thoughts and self-talk, would serve us very well indeed! http://anitalspring.mentoringforfree.com
