So often I have conversations with people about confidence and comfort zones.
I hear phrases like “I’m trying to get the confidence too…” or “I really need to step out of my comfort zone more”
Well here’s the thing you’re already confident, it’s built in you just like resilience is & the only thing that hides it, is all the thoughts you have about doubting yourself.
Something I’m coming to see more is that confidence reveals itself after we’ve taken the steps to take action - so don’t wait take the steps, let your confidence reveal itself with each one you take.
Now onto comfort zones 🤔 again I’ve come to see there’s a limitation here once again from thoughts we’re having…
Also that our words to ourself are very powerful- so “stepping outside my comfort zone” to me can create a sense of intensity and fear that we conjure up at the thought of being on the outside - from the brains perspective of it’s only language is safety/danger then the word outside could create a primal survival instinct of not being the safest option maybe 🤔
So how about the word expanding your comfort zone, does that feel a little less intense ?
After all if we keep expanding we’re stretching, growing and evolving still within a perimeter that doesn’t necessarily activate the danger brain in such a intense way & it feels more tolerable 🤔
Just a thought I was reflecting on yesterday as I prepare to expand my comfort zone with a road trip where by I’m heading off down to North Wales in the early hrs of this morning by myself to meet people I’ve never met share a hotel room with a lady I don’t know and share a new experience with them all on a two day retreat exploring deeper the nature of this human experience - I’m guessing my confidence of driving that far will also reveal itself along the way of the journey too 😉
Happy weekend my lovelies 💖
