When I’m feeling stuck, I shut down my computer, I go outside, I take a breath, I drink some water, I draw a circle, I say “this is for magic,” and I step inside. (What do you do when you’re stuck?) #creativeblock #creativemagic #summerofcreativemagic
The other thing that keeps coming up lately (and it’s related to comfort zones) is ... BOUNDARIES. Learning how to set them and hold them has been like learning an alien language for me, and it turns out I’m not alone! I’m thinking about offering a free webinar on this next week, would anyone be interested? We would practice saying yes, saying no, drawing lines in the sand and taking up room. You could participate as much or as little as you want. (Comfort zone!) ... if this is a HELL YES for you, leave a comment below and if I get enough yesses, I’ll schedule it. Yeah! #hellyes #hellno #tinyboundaries #settingboundaries #openspaces #creativemagic #freewebinar #freetobeyouandme
This has been coming up a lot in conversations lately, the idea that comfort zones exist only to be pushed out of. It’s true that growth requires stretching, changing, morphing — and that is not comfortable. But it’s also true that an incredible amount of growth happens IN the womb, IN the cocoon, INSIDE the nest. That’s actually where the most growth happens! On the inside, in the warm cozy safe place. Then one day when the wings are ready, the bird takes a step and risks flight. They don’t do it the day they are born! (Or maybe they do, I’m not an ornithologist). My point is, your comfort zone is there for a reason: to comfort you and give you a safe space to grow. You don’t have to leap or jump through fire or hurl yourself into the dark unknown. You can do a lot of growing right where you are. You can stretch your wings and be supported and cared for and comforted all at the same time.
