Use the R.A.I.D method to creatively breakfree from your comfort zone!
Are you stuck in a situation for, far too long?
You never change your life until you step out of your comfort zone; change begins at the end of your comfort zone. - Roy T. Bennett
A wiseman and his disciple were traveling. On one of their days, they came upon a desolate place, where a man lived in a hut with his wife and 3 kids. After stopping there for rest, the wiseman asked them, “how do you survive?”
The man replied, “You see that cow? That’s what keeps us going. We live with whatever she provides. That’s how we survive.”
After some rest, they both left.
When they had gone a bit far, the wiseman told the disciple to go back stealthily and push the cow off the nearby cliff. The disciple was horrified but reluctantly did it.
Years later with remorse, he journeyed back to the same place. To his astonishment, he saw the family and the place had transformed.
Upon inquiry, the now rich man replied, “we had a cow that kept us alive. We survived with that. One day it fell off the cliff and died. To survive, we began to start doing other things, learn new skills, search for new ways to make money, help other people, and now...we are much better off”
“Try new things, step out of your comfort zone, take risks, do things in ways you've never done them before, ask for help, surround yourself with self-actualized people, become obsessed with the fact that you have one go-round on this planet as the you that is you, and realize how precious and important it is not to squander that.” - Jen Sincero
So how do we get unstuck from the zone?
the comfort zone!
1. the reality:
Feel the pain, write it down, pray it aloud, recognise all that you are losing, seek help.
2. strategy:
Create a compelling, & desirable goal with action steps that can allow you to improvise as situations change.
3. your journey:
Use creativity to try new ways. Each day inspire yourself with the little victories of the world around you which includes you. Practice Gratitude.
4. your place in the growth zone:
Learn things you need, plus learn things that can make you love the growth zone. Surround yourself with supportive people with a 'let's help each other' strategy. Create your place in the uncertain growth zone and learn to enjoy the high & low waves, with planned trips into the comfort zone to rest and rejuvenate.
So isn't it time for a RAID?
