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.

Love writing about food and travel (www.thegalavantinggastronome.com) and my conversations with God (https://gitanjali.yoga). Born and raised in India. Sailor's daughter. Travel is in my DNA. Married to a scientist, who is a chemist professionally and in every other culinary way. Food, coffee, cocktails, BBQ, smoked meats, rubs, sauces...he experiments with it all - with way more wins than misses. We love the outdoors. Hiking, kayaking and camping make us happy. We are equal opportunity foodies. We love hole-in-the-wall little mom and pop places, and multi-coursed Michelin star meals as well. And, we love talking about what we love about the food, drink, coffee and anything else we get to try.
