A comfort zone is a great place but nothing grows there

Yet again my dear friend has given me inspiration for another blog post.

Suffering from anxiety is difficult and certain situations that others get normally anxious about we only get anxious about more. Even without anxiety most people like to stick with what they know and live within something they see as 'their comfort zone'. The title of this post could not be more true.

Anytime you start something new you think about what you used to have, and how you wish you had that comfort again. You also like to stick with things and even people you find familiar.

As soon as you step out of your comfort zone, whatever it may be you will grow as a person. You will experience new things, like meet new people. These new things in your life are scary as hell because you don't know where you stand with them and that is an uncomfortable feeling. 

What you need to remember is every new beginning, every new challenge will become the norm after a while, even though it doesn't feel like that to begin with.

If you stay within your comfort zone you will be content, no doubt about it (at least for most people) but if you step outside your comfort zone you will be content all the same. Because as I said it will become your norm.

Change is always scary but it's also exciting and you only have one life to live, why would you want to stay put somewhere or just be 'comfortable'. You will not look back on your life when you're old and grey and say 'I am so glad I stayed put', you will probably say you wish you had tried new things.

I am not saying I will not behave in the exact opposite way I have advised against, because I am only human and change is scary. But in your right mind, you will thank yourself in time, when you realise you did the right thing.

How people see you

Morning, I’ll get right to it.  So, I was in the middle of a conversation with a work colleague today and another colleague joined in and I reacted to something they said. For some odd reason this made me think about how people see me. I can’t see how I look to others, my body language, my facial expressions, I’m blind to how I look to other people. I’m not sure how I feel about this, I mean I would really like to know how I look to other people.  Have you ever thought this too or is this just how my mind works? I bet you’re thinking about it now though right?  BCL says

Empathy

Being an empath is the worse, sure it can feel good if the feelings are positive but more often than not, they are negative. I feel everything, so much so, that if someone cries on tv or in a film I will also cry. This is hard work. I want to be there for people I love and I always will be but it will be a rollercoaster of emotions for me as well. This is exactly why I limit what negativity I allow into my life, such as things I cannot control that will only make me feel sad or angry, e.g. world issues. It’s hard to not feel it all, it’s not that I don’t care, I would care too much.  Can anyone else relate?  I hope anyone who is reading this post is healthy and happy and if not, don’t worry you will be.  BCL says

Memory lane

Do you ever wish you could go back in time and be a kid again? I’m sure most of us do as adulthood isn’t the best. Kids don’t realise how good they have it.  I’m currently on a packed train, it’s Sunday morning and I woke up in a mood. It’s led me to try to reminisce about my childhood, when I was carefree. Kids don’t get scared, they embrace life and I wish I could feel like that over and over again. Sure kids can be scared, sure they can get sad, but it’s not the same. They don’t have the worries or the responsibilities of an adult.  Maybe adults love being parents so much because they can relive their childhood through their children. I love that I have my own mind, I like the person I am but I do wonder what it would be like to be that carefree again.  Happy Sunday everyone <3
