The Hit List - The Comfort Zone

Sometimes we need to get out of our comfort zones. This week, I’m getting way out of mine.

For one thing, I’m hitting the main stage at the Reader’s Studio bright and early this morning. Being on stage in front of 200 of my peers? Very challenging for an introvert like me who loves to hunker down in her office.

And the other thing: I’m not working. I have taken the full week off with only light email duties and a hint of blogging. (Hence, this one will be short.) For a workaholic, this is tough. The temptation to work instead of relax is there.

But I know that ultimately, this is all good for me. Getting out of my shell and getting on stage will help me grow. Taking time off work will help me relax and come back with more creativity and gusto.

It’s not easy but it’s all good.

How are you getting out of your comfort zone today?
