No Growth From A Comfort Zone

Hi friend! Happy Monday! I just wanted to share a quick thought to help start your week. There is no growth from a comfort zone. Okay let’s be real, it’s not always fun or enjoyable to be uncomfy, but if you look back at all the times you have grown in your life, you can see where the uncomfy times were absolutely crucial. My sister and I teach group fitness and sometimes we will tell our class to push themselves to get uncomfy. Don’t retreat from it or try to avoid it. Take it head on and embrace it. If we can look at it as a positive, it takes the edge off just a little. When I am pushing myself physically in a cardio class, my brain will quickly tell me to stop. It hurts and it’s all uncomfy. These are the times I remind myself that it’s supposed to be uncomfy if I wanna grow. I can then push myself past those limits. Same with emotional, spiritual, and mental growth. A lot of times my brain tells me to stop or avoid and that’s when I try to lean in and embrace. Being uncomfy is apart of the human experience! I sometimes have to laugh when I catch myself getting disappointed over uncomfy feelings. Isn’t that what life is all about? Getting uncomfy and GROWING?! Yes! It’s like, what did I expect? To feel only comfortable happy feelings all day everyday? We came to earth to grow. So what if we lean in to these uncomfy times? What if the next time you were uncomfortable you could open up and embrace all the growth + good that comes with the uncomfy? Embrace being human. Embrace all that comes with that! There is no growth from a comfort zone. Give it a try this week. Lean in to any and all the uncomfy. You are stronger than you think and you got this my friend!

XOXO
