Hello there, lovely dream chasers! Welcome to the\u00a0comfort zone challenge. Showing you how I pushed myself to take those first few steps into the scary world of change.
\nI\u2019ve conquered all of these super cool things in my life now. I have become a woman I didn\u2019t even know I had in me, people are proud of me. People are noticing me and coming to me to ask how I have done it. I\u2019ve crossed the lines of regularity and challenged myself daily. But, there\u2019s this thing I can\u2019t get over. Eating somewhere alone.
\nIt\u2019s like the 14 year old comes out in me again and I\u2019m standing in a cafeteria looking for someone to call a friend. This fear started sometime in college when I realized I had all these breaks and I had to go study alone somewhere. What if people see me and think I\u2019m a loser?! Or worse\u2026 maybe I am a loser!
\nBut as I sit here and type this in a caf\u00e9 in a state where in the grand scheme of things, I know no one, I realize, no one is looking at me. No one knows I\u2019m over here, no one is talking about me, no one thinks I\u2019m a loser. And if I am a loser, well I think I embraced that fact a long time ago!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s okay to spend some time alone, some of my best thoughts come from some good quality alone time. No one is going to think poorly of you for being you. Something that really helped me was to bring something to look at. Bring a book or your journal, even bring some headphones. This way when you realize you are alone you can focus your thoughts on something else instead.
\nThat\u2019s it for this venture, where are you going to go spend some alone time now!?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
