Bursting Bubbles

Wanna get comfortably uncomfortable?

Yeah, neither do we. Join us as we look at what comfort zones are (and aren’t) and why sometimes, the responsible thing we can do is burst our own bubbles of comfort.

Now What? “You Can Do These!”

  1. Change your routine this week. Drive a different route to your common places. Brush your teeth with the other hand. Find new ways to do old things. You’ll grow your brain even in thinking about what that looks like!
  2. Befriend someone who you wouldn’t normally befriend. Someone different than you. If you keep your eyes and heart open, we’re confident you will find you have more in common that you first realized.
  3. Do one new thing this week that has always intrigued you but maybe also scared you a little. Don’t worry about what others think; if it seems too big or too small. It’s your thing. So do it!

“You Can Read These!”

  1. Your Faithful Brain: Designed for so much more! By Leonard N. Matheson, Ph.D. https://www.amazon.com/Your-Faithful-Brain-Designed-Much/dp/1490858571/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1532456226&sr=1-1&keywords=your+faithful+brain

We love this one because it’s a great way to look at what it means to “live life to the full” within the context of growing your heart brain connection at the intersection of faith and science. (Heads up! Look for the Companion Guidebook due out late 2018!)

  1. The Science of Breaking Out of Your Comfort Zone By Peter Hollins https://www.amazon.com/Science-Breaking-Your-Comfort-Zone-ebook/dp/B078K6R2V5/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1532456356&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=the+science+of+breaking+out+of+your+comfort+zone&psc=1

This is more than a pep talk. This is a ‘how to’ with some of the science behind it. This might be a good one to try with a friend.

  1. How People Grow by Henry Cloud and John Townsend

    https://www.amazon.com/How-People-Grow-Reveals-Personal/dp/0310257379/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1532456475&sr=1-1&keywords=How+people+grow

This one takes a look at what it means to grow at a deeper level. Cloud & Townsend challenge us to think of all growth as spiritual growth. It’s a fascinating read that just might help us think of growth from a more holistic perspective.
