Post #1: Getting out of my comfort Zone

HURRAY! Here I am editing my first post on this platform ever! What an exciting but also overwhelming feeling! Even though my past successful online experience comes down to articles shared on Myspace or posts about my adventures in Hong Kong. This time, it's decided. I am bringing it to the next level. I am aiming BIGGER... than a handful of people 😇

Joke aside, this very first post is the start of out-of-comfort zone actions. I would like to remind you (myself included) how this scary situation (at first) can be an extremely gratifying experience. How being out of our comfort zone can contribute to our lives.

If you are still hesitant to fully go for it, to try this fun Zumba class your colleagues have told you so much about, to take this one-lifetime job opportunity abroad, or perhaps create your own side business... then the below might feel familiar to you:

Feeling lost

Just projecting yourself into this unknown situation is completely paralyzing you. Too much new information to process. You probably have no clue how and where to start this challenge.

Fear of failing or being ridiculous

Your lack of motivation to even start something new might be due to the apprehension of making mistakes or being judged by others. You will then find yourself postponing and eventually not starting at all.

BUT we may quickly realize these concerns will disappear if we find the right motivation. If we unlock the right mindset, we will learn how to enjoy the learning process:

Enriching our everyday life

The motivation can be found in breaking the routine by not only trying something new but also meeting different people in this adventure.

Becoming a stronger person

The reward is worth the risk. We become a stronger person as we acquire a new skill set.

Imperfection is part of the game so let's have fun and enjoy the ride!

While everyone else seems so in their element, confident and flawless in what you trying/want to start. And so what? You slowly learn, and get familiar with it by practicing, making mistakes, getting back up, and trying over and over again until it feels more natural.
With consistent determination, you will evolve, get better and better, and eventually become an expert with your own personal touch 😉

Just remember, we all have to start somewhere. Let go of the fear. Instead, feel proud that you are taking the decision to change your life for the best. When you will notice progress, you will get excited and be addicted to going to the next level!

We are not born perfect, but we can definitely be the best version of ourselves.

Cheers to the out-of-comfort-zone version of ourselves! 🥂
