What’s Inspired Me to Get Out of My Comfort Zone?

To be honest, there was no option to say ‘no’ when the reason for our ride was to support a good friend’s mission of raising money for ovarian cancer research, an illness that took her mum’s life way too early, a year earlier. Not only did we raise some money, we’ve now managed to raise over $400,000 for the Silver Lining Ride in the last three years.

So, what’s made me say ‘yes’. What makes me get out of my comfort zone?

For me, when in your comfort zone, your brain doesn’t want anything to change. … Getting out of your comfort zone from time to time creates just enough good stress to ramp up your focus, creativity, pace, and drive, and it helps you respond to life stress when unexpected things happen.

Personally, I love setting myself a challenge and for me it just takes one little decision or a leap of faith to kick start my motivation. The leap of faith involves having a basic belief in yourself and a fundamental trust in the vision of who, what, and where you want to be in the future. The leap of faith involves the belief that good things will happen when you choose to change your life.

So, my challenge for anyone reading this is to get out of your comfort zone, take a leap of faith and I promise like my ride, your decision will have a silver lining far beyond the immediate goal. Whether you decide to run for the first time, set a personal best or push yourself far beyond what you’ve achieved previously, #nowmorethanever it’s important to get out of your comfort zone.
