Taking a step into the scary

#WellnessWednesday

One of my favorite mantras is "take every opportunity" because I have never, not once yet, regretted it.
This would normally be an open discussion on #thursdaythoughts but I felt like it was to be posted today, and really, it DOES create wellness! Wellness of mind, body, and soul. so--

📖is there a situation that sticks out to you when you read this??

👇 Life changing points! 👇
*Your “real life” is out there waiting for you. Your real life exists beyond the bubble of your own personal thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Your real life is the sum total of ALL of your experiences, not just the one’s you’re comfortable with.
*Challenging yourself pushes you to dip into and utilize your personal store of untapped knowledge and resources. You have no idea what you’re made of unless and until you venture outside of your own familiar world
*Taking risks, regardless of their outcome, are growth experiences. Even if you make mistakes or don’t get it right the first time there’s always these experiences you’ve had to tap into for the future. There really is no such thing as “fail” if you got something out of the experience. And just so you know, “FAIL” re-framed means “first attempt in learning”.
*Don’t settle for the mediocre just to avoid stepping out of your comfort zone; it’s too big a price to pay. As you do this you are also expanding the size of your comfort zone.
*Leaving your comfort zone ultimately helps you to deal with change---and making change in a much better way." This is really something that I meditated on for a whole summer last year. I used to have debilitating anxiety that came with change and I was determined to retrain my brain! It's still a work in progress but wow it's been an amazing experience.

🍂I encourage you to find the courage within to start with the small thing, take small steps, and experience life, the way it was meant for you.
