Latest / Just Enough Joy / 7.29 Do Something Outside of Your Comfort Zone
Transcript
- Sarahn: Hello, beautiful people. Today is July 29th, and today's calendar challenge is do something outside of your comfort zone. Doing something outside of your comfort zone is important because growth, confidence, and discovery begin where familiarity ends. You don't always have to do something huge or terrifying. Sometimes a small stretch is just enough. To remind yourself that you're capable of more than you thought. Doing things outside of our comfort zone helps us to generate our joy because it builds confidence. When you do something you were nervous or unsure about, you prove to yourself what you can do. That sense of accomplishment leads to joy. It expands our worlds. It breaks our routine and it helps us to discover ourselves. Sometimes we don't even know how talented, how strong, how skilled, how capable we are until we push past our comfort zone. Sometimes we don't know what joy we can bring into our lives until we are willing to test out beyond our comfort zones, to try something new. Something exciting, something that at face value may seem intimidating, but once we get there, we realize that it's really a place where we can thrive. And we must remember that discomfort isn't always danger. Sometimes discomfort is just the unknown. Sometimes discomfort is just the journey of growth between where you are and where you are supposed to be. Joy grows, joy is abundant. When you give yourself permission to discover what's possible. Just enough is more than enough, Sarant says.
