"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."  ~ Neal Donald Walsch

When we think of comfort zones we think of ruts, routines, boredom, and predictability. Thinking outside the "zone" evokes an adrenaline rush or a sensation of being highly caffeinated! Excitement, adventure, and risk are the antithesis of comfort. 

It can be tempting to settle and snuggle into our comfort zones because of convenience, safety, and of course, comfort! But does life in those zones create memories and stories that you'll be talking about in 25 years??? (It's all about the story, girlfriends!)

Several years ago we were hosting a global trip for women in the jungles of Peru. We were asked if we wanted to take a walk into the jungle, complete with spiders and snakes. The adrenaline started to activate and we immediately said YES! Our guides led the way with machetes in hand as we followed with great anticipation. We were not disappointed. Along the way we met a boa constrictor that some of the natives said was friendly.  Is that even possible?  We were asked if we wanted to have them put it around our necks.  Of course we said yes...  our adrenaline was now off the charts!  It was a moment - out of our comfort zone - and a story we are still telling today. 

What is waiting at the end of your comfort zone? Join us Thursday as we explore and take you on an adventure with Robin Gerblick, founder of Exodus Retreats.
