STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

So here's the deal, I have been getting "coached" from several different sources on ways to be single, mingle, have a good time and enjoy this new and exciting life, I've stumbled upon. I must say there was one rule that I was totally stubborn against following at first: LET GO OF EVERYTHING YOU WERE TAUGHT AND HEARD!!! Now, I'm half way cool with this idea or rule, only because of the saying that you shouldn't forget about your past. I admit, this single-dating life is CRAZY, at times! Making the time to meet people and not staying in the shadows, where no one will notice you or remember your name is definitely not the way to go. You want to be approachable when you are single, but sometimes we hide behind and embrace being single, to avoid the possibilities of rejections, heartbreaks, or fear of repeating the same mistakes over and over. If this sounds like you........ guess what? Me too!!!

Stepping out of your comfort zone takes alot of courage and patience. This means having an open mind for ways that new opportunities, can squeeze into your mind and eventually your life. If you are going to the same spots, looking at the same people, but yet, hoping for a new result, chances are it won't happen. Be free and open to explore places you've never been to and things you've never done. No one likes a stick in the mud (insert a laugh here, it was one of my corny jokes).

Try a night out at a live jazz spot, art gallery, wine tasting events, new/local restaurants, poetry readings, comedy showcases, etc. Now please take note that we are in this new adventure together. So some and most of the things that I suggest to you, I am either doing, have done, or is looking into them as well. My point is, step out of your comfort zone or that everyday routine and try something different. Throw on that dress you've had in the back of that closet and go out dancing. Put on those tennis shoes and go burn off some steam at the gym. Just do something that will take you away from what you've been doing.

Now go ahead and enjoy life!!!
BREAK THE SILENCE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!!
