Feeling stuck in your comfort zone? Crave something different in your life? Dreaming of creating a life beyond motherhood? Congratulations! You're experiencing the first signs of personal growth.

Are you feeling stuck in your comfort zone? Do you crave something different in your life? Have you been dreaming of creating a life beyond motherhood?

If so, congratulations!!! You are experiencing the first signs of personal growth. I remember over the years, being in particular circumstances and times of my life when I felt stuck and wanted to break out and experience something new and different. However, wanting to do something different and having the motivation to step out of what you know into unknown territory can be very scary and downright terrifying!!!

So what do you do if you crave more but fear change???

First, examine what type of change you desire and in what area? Is it just in your career or does your relationship need a makeover? Maybe its both or perhaps you want to create excellence in the area of your health. Whatever it might be, start listening to your heart because your strong desires come from there. When I coach my clients through this process I often have them write a page on their ideal life and include all areas of their life. I tell them to write and describe what their life would look like if it was possible to have and be anything they wanted.

Next, I have them focus on what is stopping them from moving forward towards some of these dreams. My process is called From Brief to Thong using the analogy of stepping out of the comforts of a full brief and thriving thong style, free from the confines of panty lines!!! So this step in my process is called Freeing yourself from the Panty lines of Life!!! (I call myself The Coach with the Thong Approach to Life!!!) You will be surprised that when you actually write down and examine what is holding you back, motivation to remove some of these barriers is increased.

For women to move forward towards a new career for example may seem overwhelming and one of their panty lines holding them back could be not knowing what career they want to pursue. Once you acknowledge that, finding resources to help you out becomes easier. You may write a list of all careers that interest you. You may hire a coach or consultant to help you. You may look online and do some research on training and education. So you see, once you identify the barrier (panty line as I call it) it is so much easier to take action to overcome or remove it. Check out this whole brief to thong process at www.frombrieftothong.com and find out how you can win F*R*E*E coaching!!!

One of the most common reasons many women never reach their goals is because of their limiting beliefs or negative self talk. In my process I call that What Thong are you Singing??? Listen to what your thoughts are when you think of stepping out of your comfort zone to take action on a goal. Are they negative or do they empower and propel you forward? Removing limiting beliefs and formulating new empowering ones is an important step in seeing your dreams come true. Sometimes just recognizing your thoughts and acknowledging the role they play in your life, can be the stepping stone to great progress.

For me, listening to my heart and stepping out of my comfort zone has changed my life dramatically. "Feeling the fear and doing it anyway" is a familiar verse for me. It has allowed me to change careers a few times, start my own coaching business, speak in public, and even write a book for Moms (you can check it out at www.frombrieftothong.com or www.seekingbalance.ca) !!!

If feeling stuck sounds familiar to you, then remember you are opening doors to great personal growth and unlimited potential. Life changes and so do we. We are meant to grow and experience new and challenging situations. Let today be the day you take that first step out of your comfort zone. It is so much more exciting and satisfying!!!!
