Expand Your Growth by Going Out Of Your Comfort Zone

When was the last time that you did something different to increase your knowledge to grow personally and professionally as you moved out of your comfort zone? What would it be like to take steps towards fulfilling your dreams, expanding your growth, and to begin living the lifestyle you desire? It’s normal to feel fear when you try something new. Remember to always push yourself beyond your comfort zone and remain open because that’s when great things begin to happen.    Sheri colorado mountains 2

Recently I had an incredible four days traveling to Colorado by myself (a real stretch for me) to attend a 16 hour coaching/training event with my coach Sheri Kay Hoff while also incorporating a visit to meet the Schwab trading team in person that I work with in my corporate job. I wanted to use the time to further develop our relationship and also enhance my knowledge of the computer operation for placing of orders for trading thereby learning first hand how this technology could benefit my clients. What a great experience and I will remember it always. After a full day at Schwab I went back to the hotel and had dinner with a friend, and then rested up for my upcoming 2 days of training.

What attracted me to Sheri’s coaching/training event was my desire to further master my inner game. I feel it’s important to have a strong mental mindset. When your inner game is strong you are confident and can make a difference in the lives of others. When done right there is also a feeling of being unstoppable. Being around like minded individuals also helps in keeping you on your toes. What I enjoyed most were the exercises and coaching methods shared by Sheri during the session. Each were impactful and created energy shifts that caused so many breakthroughs.

Sheri and Bonnie 2014The theme of the event was “Be the Inspiration”. The conference guests were all amazing. The environment felt safe, everyone was fully engaged and committed to working through whatever was holding them back. They were open, vulnerable and shared their heart. It was a weekend of community, planning, and expansion. People shared skills and talents that had been buried. Periodically we would all be in a circle put our hands together and say “Be the Inspiration” How empowering! I could feel the connection we had with one another when saying the words. There is an untapped power that comes to life when we really connect with one another. Who have you inspired lately? Take a moment and call a friend just to share some encouraging words and put a smile on their face. You will definitely lift their spirit and discover that yours will be lifted too.

Breaking through your barriers can leave you feeling empowered like never before. You will find as you share in the breakthroughs of others you can’t help but feel enlightened by the entire experience. I had quite a few of these breakthrough moments myself; but the highlight that I treasure was when I faced my fear of public speaking. I stood up in front of the room and read a poem to the group called “She Let Go” (by Rev. Safire Rose which I’ve shared below). May it inspire you the way it has inspired me!

When I was called on to share my poem I was full of fear and could feel the butterflies in my stomach, and despite these overwhelming feelings I did it anyway. I went up said a few words first that I thought would enhance the presentation; however, I received feedback that this was not the case. I was asked to go back to my seat and do it again, but this time go right into the poem. What a great and powerful lesson taught by Sheri. The energy when I did the reading the second time was electrifying! I was truly inspired by the moment and know someday soon I will do even more speaking.Sheri denver sunset 2014

We all should all feel the fear and learn to do it anyway. I am now re-energized by having had time away, in meeting with my coach and business associates, and also in making new friends. It’s difficult to put into words how seeing the mountains, the sunsets, and embracing change was so soothing to my soul. It is an experience that will forever keep me moving beyond my comfort zone.

She Let Go

by Rev. Safire Rose

She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.

She let go of the fear.  She let go of the judgments.  She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.  She let go of the committee of indecision within her.  She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons. Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.

She didn’t ask anyone for advice. She didn’t read a book on how to let go.  She didn’t search the scriptures. She just let go.  She let go of all of the memories that held her back.  She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.  She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.

She didn’t promise to let go. She didn’t journal about it. She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer. She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper. She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope. She just let go.

She didn’t analyze whether she should let go. She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter. She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment. She didn’t call the prayer line. She didn’t utter one word. She just let go.

No one was around when it happened. There was no applause or congratulations. No one thanked her or praised her. No one noticed a thing. Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.

There was no effort. There was no struggle. It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad. It was what it was, and it is just that.
