Mel’s Mindful Moments Season 2 - Episode 25

Live While You’re Living

Have you ever really wondered what’s on the other side of your comfort zone?

Have you pushed out that far? Just to the edges of where you’re comfortable with.

Or just going a little beyond where you feel comfortable?

Do you even know what’s out there?

I’ll tell you what’s out there. On the outside edges of your comfort zone is where your full potential lives. It’s the place where you are going to come to grips with your full potential. It’s the place that is going to test your limits and where you find out how limitless your really are.

It is there where you are going to experience new and exciting opportunities that you didn’t even think where possible. Things that will blow your mind. When you look back you will say, “Wow, I did that! I just did that!”

Now let’s talk about life for a second. Life is meant to be experienced! But most of us live just boring and barely existing lives. For whatever reason, We don’t experience life to the fullest. We probable don’t even let our minds think on these things. No, we would rather stay safe in our little corner of the world and not venture too far from our comfortable nest that we’ve build our lives around. As it has been said, “Color inside the lines.”, I say, “Don’t have any lines at all!”, make your own art. Filling in someone else’s design, that’s not living, THAT’s Not Living, that’s existing. No! You don’t want to just exists, you want to live and push past the limits. Go outside that comfort zone of yours and start living!

Are there risks? Yes, of course there are risks. But without risks, there are no rewards. You’re not going to receive any reward by staying in mediocrity. Don’t just sit there inside that little bubble of yours and start living!

Let’s try and experiment. Try to do at least 3 thing a week that is outside your comfort zone. Then journal about those experiences. Write how you felt just before the experience. Then how you felt during the experience. Lastly, how you felt after the experience was over. At the end of the week, read what you wrote about your experiences, relive them through your own words. This practice will give you the motivation to continue pushing outside your comfort zone for the following week.

The greatest benefit in this approach to life is, it’s going to prevent you from living a life of regret. Don’t let your life pass you by and then look back and say, “Why didn’t I do that?”. I have just given you a proven method to prevent this from happening to you.

Seize this opportunity while you can and “Live while you are living.”

Every day can be exciting! Live a life of Awesome and don’t settle for mediocre. 

I hope you do it and I’ll meet you on the other side of the mountain!
