On Living In The Comfort Zone

Everyone has their own definition of stretching and living outside their comfort zone. Mine is that I’m actually uncomfortable being in a regular rhythm with my life, where things just flow and there’s no ambitious/competitive stretching of professional or personal life. Through this transformative journey that I’m on, I’ve had to get comfortable being comfortable. And not constantly feel like I ought to be doing more. Additionally the message around raising kids came through loud and clear. Raise them to be good, kind, gentle, generous and compassionate. This is way more important that ambition. TéO I’m so grateful to you for these insights. In studying the Tarot card Death, I can see how this is truly the death of one way of being, living, thinking and making space for this continued transformation. 

Life happens outside your comfort zone. Being at peace, not overachieving, living in complete flow, being acutely present in everything I do and not multitasking was highly uncomfortable. And so I’m living outside my comfort zone.
