Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!
Thank you so much for joining me again!
This week's theme for the podcast is: Be Your Own Mentor
This week I want to talk to share with you how you can be your own mentor!
Mentoring yourself is easier than it sounds. By taking certain steps to understand yourself better, improve on what you feel is lacking & committing to learning & encouraging yourself more, you will be on your way to bettering yourself & igniting personal growth.
Here are some notes from today's episode:
- I tend to stay in friendships, jobs & activities longer than I should because I like to be comfortable. I like to be safe & not have to worry about pleasing someone (if I can get away with it) or having to worry about what it would mean to make a change or have to put forth as much effort as I did in the beginning.
- Why you ask? Because it’s scary. It’s scary & hard to step outside of your comfort zone because of the unknown, the deathly uncertainty & the fear of not knowing what the heck to do when you step out.
- Usually, for me, I have to be overzealous about whatever it is I want or need to do that would be considered stepping outside of my comfort zone. I have to be so overly hyped so that it distracts me from all the fear I have of whatever it is. And this is a tactic I have used for years on end. It just works for me, but I have been working harder to just step out into new things, without needing to hype myself up, because I’d like to push through that fear & try new things on the regular.
- But let’s recognize that stepping out of your comfort zone is really tough. It does get easier as time goes on, as with most things, but it’s natural to always hold onto a little bit of fear/excitement because of the initial jump out of the unknown.
- The thing about getting out of your comfort zone that causes trouble for people is the fear of the unknown. Also the fear of your values & beliefs clashing with whatever this new experience will bring. Those kinds of experiences can rock our lives & we aren’t sure what to think or even feel, besides fear.
- But what I believe we don’t realize & forget is that there is so much to learn & grow in when we decide to step outside. There is a feeling of increased anxiety & risk when doing something different & new, but it’s always so worth it. Even when it doesn’t turn out, it’s still a valuable experience because you for sure learned something.
- So let’s chat about how we can get outside of our comfort zone:
- 1. Switch up your daily routine a bit.
- 2. Make a point to learn something new.
- 3. Identify certain things you want to overcome.
- 4. Get more comfortable being uncomfortable.
- 5. Spend more time with people that step outside of their comfort zones.
Please share this podcast with anyone that may need this encouragement!
