Moving Outside Our Comfort Zone

Last week we affirmed, "I choose to do what is right, even if it isn't easy." Doing what is not easy can be as simple as stepping outside our comfort zones. That is where the magic happens! That is why out affirmation for this week is "All progress takes place outside our comfort zone."

I am going through a season of life that is really making me stretch outside of what I am used to. As a parent I have a child about to turn 18 and graduate. I now have 3 in high school. In the next four years I will face change after change. It is scary and amazing at the same time. This has caused my parenting style to change. My relationships with my children have begun to evolve. We are all becoming different people and growing.

I am learning so much about myself as my family transforms. I am rediscovering old passions. I am changing beliefs about myself, who I am, and what I am capable of. All of this progress is only possible because I have not only stepped outside my comfort zone, but because I have embraced it. I am excited about this new season.

It can be scary to make changes in our lives, especially when there is much at stake. To move forward we often need to take risks. Getting comfortable with risk can be life changing. What do you want to accomplish? Where do you see the need for progress in your life? What can you do to get outside your comfort zone to accomplish it?
