What Is Holding You Back? Entering Your Discomfort Zone?
How are you doing with your transformation? Are you moving forward at a rewarding rate? Or have things slowed down recently? Is your life visibly changing the way you want it to? Or are you still stuck with the same problems?
Although you’ve made good progress in the beginning, are you now stalled?
It's a very frustrating place to be, because you get yourself and everyone else caught up in your hopes. You’ve imagined how your life will be when you’ve completed your transitions. You can see the benefits: a healthier lifestyle, a much larger income, more satisfying relationships, a much more satisfying workday, and the pride of knowing that you are doing exactly what you have always wanted to do.
It's frustrating for another reason. Because although you can see the finish line, you are standing still.
You have put in tons of hours to develop new skills and change your habits. You have studied programs that are relevant to your success, and have done very well with them.
So why have you stopped?
I can't say I know the answer for you. I'm sure there are many reasons. But I suspect one cause in every case. You have done everything you could do comfortably and have arrived at a place where you've never been before. Any new step forward now is a step out of your comfort zone.
If you want to change your life for the better, you have to accept the fact that you can no longer do the same old things the same old way. Making a commitment to change is a big step. It usually occurs when something has happened to make you realize that you are unhappy with some aspect of your life and an inspirational leader fires you up.
And the charge that you get from deciding to change may keep you going through the early stages of your transformation. It can energize you to read a book, take a course, and even go through all the details of setting up a new business or lifestyle.
All those preparations are necessary and good -- but they amount to nothing unless you are able to get your dream started.
And getting your dream started -- actually kicking your dream life into action -- is new territory. New means strange and strange means uncomfortable.
If you feel that you've made pretty good progress but are currently stalled, you need to admit to yourself that you have probably slipped into a comfort zone -- a way of seeming to be making progress without really getting anywhere -- and do something to get yourself out of it.
What you need to do is take action. Nothing you can tell yourself, nothing you can say to others, nothing you can think or feel or imagine is going to get you out of the mental fog you're in. The only thing that can rescue you is ACTION! That physical, get-up-and-do-something action.
Maybe you know what that is. Maybe it's a difficult meeting that you've been putting off. Maybe it's a phone call that you’ve been dreading.
If you know exactly what it is, do it. If you don't know, or aren't sure, I've got the next best thing: Act “AS IF” you do know. (Because you do!)
Enlist any or all of the steps below that work for you:
Make a commitment today, and in a few short weeks you will get your goals going again, even if it means entering you “discomfort zone”. Put aside those feelings of distraction, dismay, inhibition, or just feeling unsure.
Ask yourself! WHAT IS MY DREAM?
Don't put off the success you've been working and are on track for. Take that first step today and give yourself the jolt you need to make that final change.

3. Food For Thought
"Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention."
--- Greg Anderson
"Every choice moves us closer to or farther away from something. Where are your choices taking your life? What do your behaviors demonstrate that you are saying yes or no to in life?"
--- Eric Allenbaugh
"I've continued to recognize the power individuals have to change virtually anything and everything in their lives in an instant. I've learned that the resources we need to turn our dreams into reality are within us, merely waiting for the day when we decide to wake up and claim our birthright."
--- Tony Robbins
