Hello! Thanks for taking a few minutes to read today’s blog. Hopefully it will redirect your mind for a bit and open you up to a new idea or two. Isn’t it amazing how we like what we know yet we don’t always know what we like?
TRAPPED
Raise your hand if you have ever been stuck in a rut. Often we get trapped in situations or even ways of thinking that make us feel stuck. Feeling safe makes us stuck. So, how do we get unstuck?
STUCK
“Stuck means being unable to move, or being set in a particular position, place or way of thinking; Unable to change or get away from a situation.”
IT WORKS!
Being stuck in a routine or mindset usually has deep psychological and emotional reasons. Our comfort zone is often the culprit that is keeping us stuck. Why do we stay there? Because it works! The question becomes, is it serving me and is releasing my comfort worth the anxiety of the new and unknown? The fact of the matter is, we are not all the same. Many stay stuck because being stuck is comfortable. There is nothing wrong with that. If that’s not OK, take a walk on the wild side and find out if you know who or what you like rather than simply liking who or what you know.
FOR EXAPMLE…
Due to new insurance, I had to see a new dentist. Bummer! I was very comfortable with the old one however they don’t take my new insurance, so what’s a gal to do? The answer is, find a new one. It’s like finding a new doctor, clinic, bank or hair stylist. Sometimes you have a choice, and sometimes you don’t. By the way, I am very pleased with my new dentist!
PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE
Now here comes the scary part. How do I put myself out there attempting to escape my rut without looking like an idiot or worrying about what people think? The fact of the matter is, people will have opinions no matter what you say, think or do. The opinion of others is none of your business. Do what serves you.
FATE
An article I read on Quora.com asks the question, “What’s the fate of people who never leave their comfort zone?”
- A routine that becomes stale.
- A life that feels confined.
- An absence of thrill.
- Loss of drive.
- Loss of creativity.
- Loss of imagination.
- Loss of inspiration.
- Loss of self-esteem.
- Never experiencing anything new.
- Never learning anything new.
- Inability to feel pleasure.
- Wondering what if?
- Never knowing what could have been.
Suffice it to say, you simply must do what works for you.
