I willingly move out of my comfort zone!

​What happens in you when you read this statement? Do you respond with Yes! Or No! Depending on your circumstances, your response will probably be quite strong either way. Yet Spirit will always lead us to the edges of our comfort zone, for as we move through fear, we discover it is here that we grow and expand. As Susan Jeffers wrote many years ago – feel the fear and do it anyway! ​

Of course, it is one thing saying this and another to do it!

Yet when we affirm, ‘Divine guidance directs me wonderfully on my path’ it is helpful to know that our guidance will probably lead us out of our comfort zone. This has certainly been my experience. 

Speaking for myself, when I stay in my comfort zone, there is no growth or movement. It feels lovely for a while, but then I notice Divine energy fizzling out and I start to get restless and bored! Life is always calling us to grow and expand our thoughts and experiences of who and what we are. This means moving out of our comfort zone and feeling into our edges – the discomfort or fear that we feel here. As we feel into our fear, and gently breathe through it, it will change and we will discover there is so much more to us than we thought possible.

It is important to know there are times when we must prioritise our safety. Anyone in a difficult or challenging relationship must do all they can to be safe. However, when we are ready to push through and open to new possibilities, be assured you will be supported, helped and enabled by the God-energy always with you.

I encourage you, when life invites you to move out of your comfort zone, to stay with the discomfort: do not back down. As you breathe into the energy in your body, it will shift into excitement and even joy, for you are expanding into the divine possibilities that are here for you and coming through you. Enjoy the journey.
