Settle down! You’ve got this.
In order to grow – one must be willing to step up and out of their comfort zone. As noted yesterday fear is what limits us from stepping out and making this change happen. Once you have conquered that – you can begin to conquer the new zone into becoming your new comfort zone.
So once again I say to you – You’ve got this. Whatever it is today that faces you as a challenge (even if it is the fact of it being Monday), right now before you go into the day; take a deep breath, count to 5 and tell your self you’ve got this.
“If someone offers you an amazing opportunity and you’re not sure you can do it, say yes – then learn how to do it later.” – Richard Branson
Today is just the start and whether it goes smoothly or with a few bumps along the way, here are some ways you can maintain a consistent comfort when entering into a new zone.
ACCEPT & BE WILLING
When stepping it up the first thing you need to do is accept the fact that things are about to change, this will enable your mindset to be ready and willing to adapt to new environments and any changes that occur. If you’re not willing to accept the changes to come or the possible chance of you being challenged harder than before (most likely), then you will struggle to adapt and to fit in with your new zone.
ATTITUDE
With the above in mind, your attitude will have a big part to play. You will need to be confident, while at the same time be humble as you will need to learn, adapt and be willing to take some help and guidance to get to where you need to be. If you have a lousy attitude – don’t expect to move forward or have any support. Plus a lousy attitude is going to mess up your day regardless. So be positive, be focused and be excited as you’ve got this.
PERSISTENCE
Now that you have accepted the changes to come and you have your attitude in check, now you need persistence. As you grow, day by day into your new zone… it is going to take an unknown amount of time to get comfortable and to know your way around the ropes. So be persistent, be wiling and keep that attitude in check and you never know – the comfort may come quicker than you expect. Remember, you’ve got this.
PLANNING
Planning is key to a lot of things and you don’t need to do this after having accepted the change, applied a positive attitude or persisted. You can plan now before you even start your new zone. You can plan on being willing, you can plan to have your attitude ready, you can plan to be persistent, you can also plan for other factors, or pre-plan and organize (depending on whatever it is your going into) your first day or the when the first change is going to come. This way you may not know everything that is going to happen – but you will be ready for anything and ready to adapt. Anything that gets you ahead of knowing nothing, or starting at zero (bottom of the baseline) will be an advantage of helping you maintain confidence and ease you in quicker to this zone. Then it will be sooner than later that this zone becomes your new comfort zone.
So don’t be shy, don’t be of fear – but be planned, be willing, be of positive attitude and be persistent as you go on Monday and as you go into any challenges that come your way. Embrace the challenge, embrace the new zone and just remember – you’ve got this.
