spread your wings.

...and FLY out of your comfort zone, friends! “Have faith in the unknown...and yourself.” (Jen Sincero- from her book You Are A Badasss...best.book.ever.) Meet new people, see new places, do one thing every day that scares you. I tend to see that last one everywhere. It’s on lululemon bags, in self help books (also in You Are A Badass...seriously, have you read it yet?), sometimes it falls out of the sky into my head...well, maybe not really. But it feels like that sometimes! Even though I love adventures, sometimes I get stuck in a rut where all I want to do is things that are familiar. And let me tell you, it does not feel good to hang out there for very long. Seriously, you guys, I’m really starting to think that we turn to stone if we don’t keep expanding our horizons. And who wants to turn to stone!? Maybe we don’t even have to do one thing that scares us every day, just something that’s unknown. Just to make sure we’re still alive and elastic enough to respond to new and different things coming our way.

Whenever you feel overwhelmed and just want to curl up in a ball and be surrounded by a plume of feathers from your down comforter; hang out there for a little while, drink some tea, breathe, and then get up and DO. SOMETHING. Do anything. Go to the drugstore and get that thing you keep forgetting to order from Amazon. Go to that cute shop that has that adorable tote bag in the window you keep ignoring. Go get a card for a friend you haven’t talked to in forever, write to her in a cute coffee shop and then mail it! Snail mail style.✌🏼Keep yourself elastic. You never know what The Universe has coming your way...

Some days you’ll feel like you stuck your pinky toe out of your comfort zone, and others you’ll feel like you took a GIANT LEAP. Either way, stepping out of your comfort zone means you’re leveling up. You’re raising your vibrations, your energy, your being by trying new things, putting yourself in a new environment, being a new and improved version of yourself. Exist in a constant state of learning, of bettering yourself. Everyone (including you!) will thank you. Now, drink some water, get some extra sleep, and get out there. 🙃
