How fortuitous that I stumbled upon this article today. Recently, I decided to write an ebook. I have much of the content already, but it was not until this week I that “received” the title: “Walking Outside My Comfort Zone”. Thanks for the confirmation.

All good points–thanks for sharing, Mary, Jeannette, Paula and Casey.

Casey, sometimes what people fear is that they will become successful. Any change can be scary.

Why we don’t do things uncomfortable is because of fear. Some people would rather live with their fear than to have success.

I agree with your article.

I once heard this called creating a “new normal”. Can’t recall if it was Robin Sharma or Michael Neil who said it — but if you can think of what you are comfortable with now (“normal”) and then you stretch… a little bit at a time. Then it becomes second nature because you’ve gotten better at it, integrated it into your life/skillset. Suddenly that is a new normal…and this is how we grow and expand.

Like the points you make!

Y0ur post about doing something uncomfortable could have been written about me. I created my new blog/website (with a lot of help from Bea Fields’ Blogging Maniac course). Content management is not the piece of cake everyone makes it out to be if you’re not a techie, which I’m decidedly not. But — it’s been one of the most energizing projects I’ve ever undertaken. I’m in the social media game now and I love this whole new world. Thanks for the tip about nofollow/dofollow

Such great points, Cathy. I just talked about overcoming fear for moms on my MomTV show, Everyday Answers. I’ve always gotten something positive from stepping out of my comfort zone. Or even leaping out!

Thanks, Anne. I have several “secret” sources for photos–I may have to do a post about finding photos and spill the beans. ;o) Mostly I use a few clip art photo collections and a couple of online sources.

Glad you are enjoying the blog!

Cathy,
Where ever do you find the whacky and wonderful photos that you use with your posts? Your choice of images is as good as your choice of topics. Keep it up!
