Legionella is waiting for Ramadan to start so she only has to work 6 hours a day

Stepped out 3 weeks ago

So I got accepted to a school in Trieste (Italy) for a master program. We went to see the city (not so wonderful) and the school (wonderful), but then I got afraid of the changes (new country, new city, new school, totally alone) and started to make excuses to myself why I shouldn’t go. Fortunately one friend of mine convinced me, so I decided to go. It’s a great opportunity and I would regret it forever if I don’t go.

things to step out of my comfort zone, unfortunately still I am in it. I’m thinking to travel to some unfamiliar place, and so far I only dared to do it in Europe. But of course I know Europe and know what to expect. So my new plan is Philippines. It’s in the end of the world (from Europe at least), it’s a totally different culture, landscape, accomodation, transportation etc. Of course, I’m affraid a little, but I really want to do that in the same time.

An other thing I want to do is trekking in Austria. Okay, it’s not something extraordinary, as it’s only a neighbour country, but it would be only me and my dog and we would be on our own exploring beautiful places.

That’s all for now.

I do not like this. 3 months ago

I hate that I need to do this, because I love my comfort zone and rarely step out of it; this is the reason why my life is lonely and boring most of the time.

India 4 months ago

Finally I’ve made up my mind that I’m leaving for Inida for a couple of months. A bit nervous, but really looking forward to it. Surely I’ll miss my friends, family and all the convenience here at home (especially hot shower & flushing sitting toilet), but i wanna go! I’m glad finally I have a lil courage to leave the comfort zone, and believe it will worth it, cuz there’s so much to learn from India. :)

I’ve always felt upstaged, and letting everyone else do all the talking. My first life goal is to step out of my comfort zone, and be heard. Speak up. I’m ready to do things I would never do.

Karen and I agree that this is goal numero uno, even though Im not listing it first 5 months ago

Since graduating college in ‘05, I have reduced my comfort zone to my house; to a lesser extent my workplace; and a little patch of desert in California that my father and I visit every year (my gparents live out there for part of the winter). The smaller one’s comfort zone becomes, the bigger and scarier the outside world becomes. This in turn makes one even more fearful of venturing outside the comfort zone, thus leading to a cycle of more fear and an ever-smaller comfort circle.

What is especially hard for me personally is that, at one time, my comfort zone spanned continents. Now it is reduced to a few mile radius.

I dont like having a comfort zone this small. I love to travel – or should I say, I used to love to travel, I like learning about things global, studying other cultures, etc. So I have this huge tension between what I really want, and what I actually have because I think its safe.

A global dream and desire, yet a pitifully local life.

No wonder contentment, satisfaction, and happiness elude me. I self-sabotage, push dreams further and further out, and just fill up with more fear, all in the name of “safety.” Where the world was once an invigorating and exciting place full of fun – even though I have always had some fears, that is only normal – it is now a place, in my mind, filled with danger, suffering, and destruction. People are violent, hurtful and judgmental, rather than peaceful, open and kind. Will the world ever be a friendly and fun place again?

Perhaps.

I need to slowly expand my comfort circle, little by little. A radical shift in my thoughts and beliefs is also necessary.

First place to start: getting a PT job that requires no resume and does not involve working with any family members.

I am a comfort zone kind of girl 5 months ago

I am a big fan of my comfort zone. I have zero confidence in my ability to negotiate new situations, so I strongly prefer to stay in the well-worn grooves of what I know. Unfortunately, this is the best way to personally stagnate and to lose even more self-confidence, feeding my inclination to stay in my comfort zone, and so on.

I need to consciously try to put myself in more situations where I’m a little bit uncomfortable, and I’d like to record my success in this goal.



Untitled 6 months ago

1. People think I am outgoing. I am actually rather afraid of new people and some new places. I am making it a goal to meet new people and create relationships with them that benefit us both.

2.I am going to take my blog to the level where it is blessing others AND creating a steady income for me and my family.
