Growth happens outside of our comfort zones... this is a great way to map out your strengths, weaknesses, and fears 💝
"In the very first week of school, my students and I have a conversation about our comfort zones. I draw a circle and say, 'Everything inside this circle is what’s in your comfort zone: All the things that you do without even batting an eye.'
