Take Me Outside My Comfort Zone

My last post I said to stay tuned because I may have something exciting to report, if I continued to stay strong.  Well I didn't but I don't completely consider this a failure and here is why.

I had recently joined a meet up group with woman that enjoy adventure and travel; I had planned on attending their meet up which was a Zip Line, yeah you heard me right a Zip Line. For those of you who know me, know this is pretty far outside my comfort zone but I wanted to stretch myself and thought what better way than a Zip Line.

The moment I signed up I was giddy with excitement and then the fear began to creep in.  Each day I would talk myself into it and each night out of it.  This tug of war within myself was frustrating me and I wanted to know why. 

Well this is what I came up with.  I had never attended a meet up with these woman before and my first one was going to be one that stretched me WAY outside of my comfort zone.  I wasn't sure if they would be able to support me and my fears and what would I do if they couldn't? 

What I decided was to cancel going on this trip and take baby steps with this meet up group and with my close friends go outside my comfort zone...at least for now.

So to you my friends, help me outside my comfort zone when you see an opportunity. I may need your support and understanding as I work through my fears  Also, depending on others takes me out of my comfort zone, so this could actually be a two for one deal for me.

I would still like to do the Zip Line in the Spring/Summer and I hope to have my friends join me and be surrounded by all your support.

As always, thanks for stopping by.
