OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE

Our brains love what is familiar. We have a desire to stay with what we know. The discomfort of a new situation can provoke anxiety because you now have to make sense of something in a different way. You have to decide if the benefit of the new opportunity is worth the discomfort.

There is also discomfort from stretching and realizing that you don’t love what you found. It is really important to pay attention to that inner-voice, is it discomfort because you're stretching yourself in a way that has greater purpose for you, or is it discomfort because you realize that you don’t like what you have found with a change.

Paula encourages us to consider that sometimes your discomfort is actually a warning sign and sometimes being comfortable is also a warning sign.
