WEDNESDAY MEDITATION

Being Comfortable is a Shut-Off Switch for the Learning Areas of your Brain

But it doesn’t have to be. Do new things and that changes.

Spirit, stretch me beyond my own comfort zone. Give me the courage, not just the desire.

Most people hear the phrase “step outside your comfort zone” and cringe. And where it is true that scientists have discovered that stability is a shut-off switch for your brain, it doesn’t have to be that way.

You can accomplish stepping outside your comfort zone without stress.

See, the human mind is kind of like. . . .
a pinata. When it breaks open,
there’s a lot of surprises inside.
Once you get the pinata perspective,
You see that losing your mind
can be a peak experience.
