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.

Small wins

Small wins are big wins in life depending on your perspective. I touched my toes for the first time tonight doing yoga. This literally has made my day. SUPER PROUD. BCL says

Rain

I know rain is wet and cold but I find myself really enjoying it lately. It’s making me feel relaxed and peaceful. I think I’d enjoy it more if I was in a beautiful cottage somewhere surrounded by nature. I could read all day, I could nap as much as I wanted to and just watch and listen to the rain.  BCL says 

Cervical Screening Awareness Week - Personal update

Hi everyone,  I hope all who read my blog are happy and healthy. As it’s cervical screening awareness week this week I thought I’d update you all on my journey. My previous post confirmed I had been diagnosed with CIN2 and the doctors had advised I do conservative management. I went along with this, until 9 months in, it was confirmed I had not shifted my CIN2. The conservative management is for a 2 year period so therefore on my last colposcopy, the nurse advised I get the treatment to remove the abnormal cells. I was more than happy with this as, not only does it give me peace of mind the cells cannot get any worse but I also felt if there was not an improvement by 9 months, this was not a good sign.  Fast forward to 27th May when my LLETZ procedure took place. The nurses were lovely, the procedure was horrendous, (I’m not going to sugar-coat it for you, it was awful), and I’m in recovery.  Last weekend, unlucky for me, I experienced a uncommon complication from the pro...
