During the taping of the roadSIGNS TV Show for Cogeco Cornwall yesterday, a wonderful question arrived. Here it is:
What would it take for you to step out of your Comfort Zone and into your Courage Zone?
I love it when one of my clients, or in this case a member of our studio audience, asks one of those great questions. This is what keeps me on my toes and keeps me learning as well.
Yesterday we were filming a series of shows called Living in GRACE, GRACE being an acronym for Gratitude, Respect, Acknowledgment, Courage and Enthusiasm. As you can imagine this specific question came up during the conversation on Courage.
Courage shows up in so many ways everyday. Example:
-
the courage to choose something different or new , something outside your comfort zone
-
the courage to be curiosity and play in the land of what if…
-
the courage to set boundaries for yourself and say NO to others when you need to say YES to you
-
the courage to confront fears you have or those limiting beliefs that hold you in your comfort zone
-
the courage to stay the course once you have stepped onto it.
The great opportunity before each of us is to step out in courage and see what the world look like on the other side of our comfort zone. I had no idea what it would be like to have a TV Show. My curiosity went to the what if… and the rest is history. Do I get nervous. Darn right! It feels a little scary to be putting yourself out there, whether that is writing a new book, speaking to an audience or hosting a TV Show. Courage is required every time you make a new choice and that’s where excitement, enthusiasm and enjoyment live as well.
Are you ready to leave comfort behind for courage?
Let me know.
We will be launching the ME FIRST Playbook later this month, a fun and funky companion book to ME FIRST – If I Should Wake before I Die. You can pre-order at http://www.roadsigns.ca/products.html or join us on Sunday, October 16th at the Cornwall Public Library, 1 PM for the official book launch.
Until next time…
