Trying new things can be uncomfortable. That doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Proud of my kiddo for giving something new a shot today — and reminding me that growth doesn’t have to be loud or fast. What’s one small step you’re taking outside your comfort zone?
Trying new things isn't easy for everyone. Sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone is exactly what you need to help get you out of a rut or a funk. What's one small new thing you've tried lately? Or one that you're thinking about trying?
Hey, trying new things isn't easy for everyone. I mean, for some of us, it's like, ooh, look, an adventure. And for others, it's more like, can I keep just doing what I already know how to do and be comfortable forever? I mean, I get that. For real. That's where my kiddo lives most days. He likes familiar things. Same routine, same activities. And honestly, I don't blame him, because new things can feel anxiety. Inducy. Especially when you're already working hard just to get through your day. But I can also tell when he's bored, like he's reached the end of the Internet and gone, okay, now what?
So we've been trying new things very slowly, one little step at a time. And today I got a great picture from school because he's trying roller skating. And I just thought, good job, buddy. I know that wasn't easy, because trying new things can be hard for kids, for adults, for all of us. But sometimes stepping just a little outside of your comfort zone is exactly what you need to help get you out of a rut or a funk. And you know what? Those comfortable things, they'll still be there when you get back.
So what's one small new thing you've tried lately? Or one that you're thinking about trying to.
