Do something that is outside of my comfort zone at least once a week

Bought a car with a stick shift on Sunday and now I’m learning to drive it! It’s a challenge!

Havent updated any on this goal in six months, but I do feel I’ve made some progress being a little bolder and more outgoing.

I want to start writing down efforts and progress and set backs though for this too.

Today, I’m going for a walk to do job applications. This is out of my comfort zone in a few different ways. First, the applications part- having to go in, introduce myself and talk face to face with someone I don’t know, but who’s opinion of me really matters. Secondly, the walking… it hurts, even on a good day. Uncomfortable is an understatement.

Volunteering to be an Assistant Stage Manager (no experience) at a club I’ve never been to with bands I’ve never heard of… Should be uncomfortable. :)

I know I was planning on going to classes. But instead, I went to the doctor and got on adderal. I had to argue with my grandmother to help me (out of my comfort zone!) and then argue with the doctor. I don’t argue with people. Never. I sit and sulk and let them do whatever the hell their doing.

Today (Mondays… blah) is my start day for the first week. Last week, I did something way out of my comfort zone- got a job! That inspired me to do more. By Sunday night, I want to have done something I’d quite frankly rather hide under the covers from. Which for me…. is lots of stuff. I’m extremely shy. I still don’t know what I should do, though. Today, I’m going apply for a second job but since I did that last week, I don’t count that. Oh, actually, I know what this week’s challenge is gonna be!!!!

Ride the city bus alone to get to my GED classes.

This IS sooo outside my comfort zone. It really makes me nauseous. But its something I really need, and an area of my life that my shyness is really affecting negatively. So, actually, I have to do this before Sunday.

I’m really very bordering on neurotic shy, so I really need this. I’m trying to think of something. My boyfriend is leaving to go take care of a family member just diagnosed with cancer soon, and I selfishly want to give him a better-version-of-me to come home to. Because honestly, I’m afraid he won’t. Come back home that this.
