The fall season has arrived, and we look forward to welcoming the fresh, autumn days and the crisp colored leaves crunching at our feet. We love snuggling into our cozy woolly sweaters while we head out to the local fall fair savoring a pumpkin spiced latte. I personally look forward to this every single year! This autumn season is all about change, venturing beyond our comfort zones and anticipating magnificent new horizons.
Most of us create new changes in the fall season as it seems to be embedded in our psyche. This is due to deep-seated habits that were formed while we were very young. Remember the very first day of kindergarten and the memories you still can recall? Every time a change occurs in our lives, we have the greatest opportunity to escape that dreaded ‘comfort zone’ and in so doing we experience a new vibrant life while we continue to grow & prosper.
Did I happen to mention that breaking out of a comfort zone can be difficult? Well, it most certainly can be, human beings tend to resist change. There seems to be an innate anxiety, a nervousness that takes place whenever we deviate from the ‘norm,’ whether it is a child just starting their first day of school, a student beginning their academic studies, introducing a new relationship into your life, embracing a new sport, or an adult embarking on a brand-new career.
Our lives would become stagnant from a lack of growth otherwise. Sadly, many people decide to stay in that mould ALL their life. It takes determination and commitment to finally release the ‘familiar’ and a seemingly secure situation to embrace something new.
People can go thru their entire lives never stepping out of their comfort zones and I believe they live to regret it. If you are afraid of change understand that fear is merely a mental obstacle that disappears the moment you decide to step forward. By doing so you’ll get in the ‘habit’ of breaking thru those challenges and therefore can begin to easily adapt to future change. And, from my own experience the moment you do commit to change and wander out of that comfort zone I promise you change will become much easier to navigate, and that belief that says ‘you can’t do it' magically disappears.
I encourage you to take a step forward to experience the exhilaration of personal or professional growth. If you are in school excel by giving it your best, perhaps begin to invest in yourself by studying personal development. From my own personal experience I cannot stress the benefits you will reap when you invest in yourself and study. Take a night school class, enjoy a new hobby or commit to an exercise routine that you have been putting off. The health & maintenance of your body is just as important as the development of your mental state.
When you do decide to embrace change make a firm commitment & do it. The perfect time is NOW, this season! So, while you are contemplating that next big challenge enjoy a brisk walk out in the warmth of the fall sunshine & remember to pick up a pumpkin spiced latte to savor along the way.
