Comfort Zone

Comfort Zone

The conventional wisdom seems to be that stepping outside your comfort zone is good, worthwhile, admirable. Lately I feel like that idea makes a big assumption about being in a comfort zone to begin with. I rarely am. Some days getting outside my comfort zone means getting out the door, or even getting out of bed.

This morning I had a job interview, which really wreaked havoc with my mood. I'm now wired when I need to be winding down. Not to suggest that we can't take on challenges, learn and grow, but sometimes it comes at a cost that most people can't begin to fathom.

So I thought I'd start this thread to chat about how to find your comfort zone. It would make a nice change! I have an app that includes 'sleep stories' - calming voices reading stories - I think I've only made it through 1 of them, over many listens. So that works for me.

Re: Comfort Zone

Hello to anyone about this morning.

Have withdrawn a bit today. Stayed home from work to try and regather. It has not been a good place to be. Often when I'm not in a great headspace, organising my physical space is important. So when I came home to a big mess last night it really threw me. I'm writing a list to get on top of it, and including some little things for myself to break up my day... short walk to the cobbler to pick up my shoe - it's sunny this morning and will be good to get out... watch a bit of netflix while I do the ironing - sometimes mindless entertainment is the go... 'window shopping' for a few books online.

How are you going @Teej @Shaz51 @BryanaCamp @CheerBear @BlueBay ... hope you all find some comfort in your day.

It must be a day for it @frog . I’m planning something similar as in trying to pull my life back together a bit. I hope your day is a good grounding reset one.
