Have you ever felt totally paralyzed to the point you had no idea how to move? Stuck because you didn’t know how to build momentum to get things done? I have this crazy fear of heights and a husband who is a restless explorer. One time on a family trip
For many years I’ve heard and bought into the idea that many of us stay “stuck” because we want to stay in our comfort zone. That’s actually NOT true! If we were genuinely comfortable, we wouldn’t desire change or improvement. The human mind likes predictability- even if it’s NOT comfortable!
