STEPPING OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE

I am terrified of heights...

I am often reluctant to try something new, being very comfortable in my daily routines.
Surprisingly I am the person in the photo paragliding above the Pacific Ocean (with my pilot, of course). 
​
I loved it, except for the one swoop that left me feeling like I'd just been in a falling elevator.
The view from above the ocean and beach is incredible. It is the view of a bird, soaring free on the currents. We saw sharks and sea lions, schools of fish and bathers on the beach. It was quiet, peaceful, amazing.

Greg wanted to go paragliding for his birthday last week, and so we went. I stepped completely out of my comfort zone and off the edge of the cliff, and I'm glad I did! I saw the world I often see but with new eyes.

I recently stepped out of my comfort zone to take a break from social media, a scary thing to do when I hear so much about how an author has to be posting constantly in order to build a following. I gave my small following a break, too. 

I had time to think about my skills and where to best spend my energies. I will be returning to social media soon, but with a clearer view of what I need to do, and what I can do, without taking precious time from my writing, my family, my puppy, my life.

What have you done lately to step out of your comfort zone? Leave a comment below and let me know! I'm eager to hear from you.

​Paragliding, anyone?
