Why Staying in Your Comfort Zone Isn’t All It’s Cracked Up To Be!
Who doesn’t love their comfort zone?
You know the place; where it’s all cosy, warm, snuggly and safe, very safe!
When you are battling a chronic condition, our comfort zone is our sanctuary. It is the place where we know our limitations. We recognise our abilities, so don’t really have to challenge ourselves too much. Nothing much happens in our comfort zone and we are OK with that.
Our comfort zone allows us to just be, where we are at, right now. In our comfort zone, we do what we have always done. Have the same coping techniques that may work on some days but not on others. We rely on the same medication because the doctor says that is what we should be taking. We accept what they say because, after all, they are the “expert”.
Yep, our comfort zone is certainly safe and comfortable but it is also a place where nothing grows. No hopes, no spark, no incentives and no change. Over time, left in our comfort zone we will basically stagnate!
I am so excited to share how a positive can do attitude, coupled with some healthy eating & exercise, throw in some affirmation, meditation and mindfulness can put you on your way to seeing some fab changes in managing your Fibromyalgia.
