Explore outside my comfort zone

About a year ago, I got motivated to start taking care of myself after 25 years as a couch potato. Started walking, took a strength training class, realized walking wasn’t enough (but still too heavy to jog), started climbing some hilly streets, found a nature center I never knew about, found some trails above the nature center – now I am hiking 3 or 4 days a week, 3 miles minimum, up to 6 or 7 miles max so far – loving it! Definitely outside my comfort zone – then I realized maybe the hikes I was doing, at the same locations, were just a NEW comfort zone – so I will continue to find NEW locations. DOing this alone – but am looking for hiking groups, etc. But I like the alone part as well.

This is one of those “little by little” goals. But I found once I was comfortable with whatever it was I was doing, I would force myself to move on. It’s really a great feeling.

Started talking to a girl he sat next to me on the train this morning. Was a bit nervous at start, but surprised how easy and enjoyable it was.
You never know who you might meet!

i went on this week long retreat and i was definitely outside of my comfort zone. i was seperated into groups without one person that i knew, and shared things about myself i havent told any other people before. the whole experience was hard at times, but so amazingly worth it. it was such a life changing experience.

that’s the only way to grow.

break down the muscles (physical and mental and emotional) and they grow back stronger.
