A Life Giving Moment: No Return Access

Sojourner, pack your bags. You will not return to your comfort zones. A comfort zone is a mental conception that is often subconscious and associated with safety and security. One's comfort zones or comfortable boundaries are cultivated over time. The idea of a comfort zone or safe space is projected onto people, places, and things. For example, some people refuse to try new hairstyles, new foods, new venues, new relationships, and new techniques because they “already” have the “sure thing” that works well every time. A comfort zone is neither good nor bad unless it is attached to an unhealthy dynamic. In general, comfort zones are neutral until one chooses to stretch and to grow. Comfort zones can become detrimental when one’s life is dictated by imagined threats, ignorance, and dangers instead of real facts and your own unrealized potential.

Growth and transition necessitates releasing those comfortable boundaries one meticulously builds and buries deep within. In order to create and achieve that elusive dream, you must first dismantle the many chains that stifle your ability to both see and pursue new ideas, new people, new places, and new things.

For the remainder of the year, choose to do 1 thing every week that absolutely frightens you. Cut your hair, wear a new color, publish an article, go on a vacation alone, climb a mountain, ice skate, speak publicly, break out in a random dance in a store (having a child who dances with you will help with the embarrassment although I tend to do this…alone…quite often…while grocery shopping…I digress LOL), don’t wear makeup, send a message to an old crush who never knew (only if you’re not currently in a monogamous relationship), promote your talents, color outside the lines, post a video of you being silly online (I do this often too!)…

The possibilities are endless! Who is with me? I’ve already started: www.facebook.com/dreamlifefellowship.org
