Step into new possibilities
/
Most people live in their comfort zone, where it feels safe — and comfortable! That was familiar territory for me. I lived in a cozy, if small, comfort zone for years.
I recall how uncomfortable it was, when I first worked with a coach, to think of stepping outside of my comfort zone. The uncertainty I felt about a host of unknowns seemed daunting.
And, I learned that by choosing to look at things differently, I could also see opportunity.
What if you focused on curiosity and exploration rather than fear?
For some people, a significant event shakes them up and inspires them to step beyond their comfort zone.
In my case, it was a slower process of building awareness that I was no longer content with the status quo. A soft voice inside me piped up to say that I was no longer excited about the work I’d been doing for decades and it was time for something to change.
And I said yes.
I was willing to trust myself, get curious and explore what was possible. Fear and resistance fell away.
Giving myself the opportunity to explore and make discoveries led me to fresh and exciting insights, and many new experiences. It wasn’t long before my new path became clear and I was energized to forge ahead.
What is simmering inside of you, related to your work, your relationships, an upcoming transition, or your satisfation with life?
What might it look like for you to open yourself up to new possibilities?
There is power in taking one small step
Rather than staying where you are now — no matter where you are on the spectrum that spans dissatisfied, to uncertain, to eager for something new — I invite you to take a step across that invisible line at the edge of your comfort zone and the possibility of something new, different, bigger, better.
Start with saying a quite “Yes” to yourself — a “Yes” to taking a single, small step into new possibility.
Your small step may be to make a change in a routine that feels stale.
Your step might be to reach out to someone and talk about an idea that intrigues you.
You might try something different, like a new way of moving your body, or a new way of creating to express yourself.
Your step can be taken at your desk, or on an excursion to a place that inspires you.
You might explore ideas you have now, or generate new ideas to consider.
Any new step counts. Start and then take another step (in the same direction or a different one).
Getting into motion builds momentum. So set an intention to take action.
Are you ready to begin?
Most people wait for the “right time” to take a new step. And most people put off action because they are never sure they are “ready.”
I urge you to start today — simply take one small step over the line into new possibility!
And you might make that step a call with me. You can book a quick intro call to share what’s going on in your life, and what you yearn for. (There’s no pressure, cost or obligation for us to talk.)
