The last time I left my “comfort zone” was when I moved away from my family and past life. It has been the best decision in my life, and has allowed me to deepen my spiritual growth and develop personal growth. It gets lonely at times, but I know it’s the best for me & for my family. My family is dysfunctional, and I’ve always known this growing up but used to try help “fix” everyone and everything. As I began noticing more and more of these traits, I realized I’m the odd one out, so I decided to move away from it. Just because you’re comfortable in a zone doesn’t mean you’re meant to be there, and comfort doesn’t mean it doesn’t get uncomfortable! I refuse to become a product of my environment, so I did the unthinkable and left.
I got tired of putting everyone before me, and have always wanted to move back to SoCal, so I finally decided to put me first! Now, when I left I jumped from one part of toxicity to another not realizing it, so I had to leave another comfort zone. Once you are no longer comfortable, it’s time to go, so you have to take it as a sign. I now have very little to no contact with my family, and I’m no longer in pain from their drama. If anyone is going through this type of change, know that you’re not alone, although it may feel like it sometimes. Also, you can have family without it being your actual family. Blood may be thicker than water, but peace is more important than dysfunction and drama. Know your worth and apply yourself, because you don’t have to stick to a zone you are not comfortable in. Leave and allow yourself to be free <3.
At 35, I’ve never felt so much peace in my life, and leaving my comfort zone has allowed me to rediscover MY TRUE SELF. I don’t mind helping and giving others my time, but I am more selective with my newfound wisdom. Also, leaving my comfort zone has allowed me to face my fears. You don’t need anyone’s approval, but you do need to have faith (in which no one can take away unless you allow it). Leaving my comfort zone has also allowed me to achieve more things than I would if I didn’t leave. Sometimes in life, you have to leave so you can arrive greater and better than before. Leave so you can achieve. Achieve because you believe. Believe you deserve the best because you do!
