Tune in when you’re at the edge of your comfort zone
•••
There’s GOOD info there. What’s scary about it? What’s exciting about it? What would you learn if you went for it? What would you do next, because/after you went for it? Answering those questions might lead you where you need to go.

To do
Start paying attention to community bulletin boards
•••
In your local coffee shop, in the public library, in the entrance to the gym, wherever. Challenge yourself to attend one class/performance/event/etc. per quarter. For an extra layer of adventure, you can (a) go by yourself, or (b) invite someone you've been wanting to get to know better. I don’t know you, so perhaps none of this is outside your comfort zone! But it is for me :)

Take calculated risks
•••
Taking risks is how we step outside of our comfort zone. But for those of us who are risk averse, it’s incredibly overwhelming and scary. The gap looks like fear of failure, looking stupid or foolish, getting hurt, etc. But on the other side of the gap is an incredibly fulfilling life. So how do we balance our inherent needs for safety and security with risk taking? Calculated risks. For example: I often admired people’s clothing or style or even their smile. And I’d watch them walk by and wish I’d said something. So I tried small quick compliments in passing. “I love your look!” “Obsessed with those shoes!” “Your hair is such a lovely color” I knew it would never be foolish to be kind to people, so that minimized risk. And it’s lead me to some incredible conversations with people. Another type of calculated risk is attending a community event. A class, a show, a pop up shopping experience, whatever…and go solo. It’s easy to find people with common interests if you meet them while experiencing those interests. The more small risks you take, the more you trust yourself to try bigger things! “What’s holding me back from trying this new thing?” “What is the absolute worst that could happen from trying this?” “Can I survive the absolute worst thing?” “What kind of support do I want/need while I try this new thing” Stay curious and respect your brain and body’s needs for security and familiarity. You have a pretty solid track record for navigating new and hard things so far in life, so I think you’ll do great :)

Pick up a new skill
•••
I have a list of things that I would like to learn: finances, sewing, tennis, and piano. I signed up for a sewing class last year with a friend and it has been the most humbling and rewarding experience. It’s pretty low risk, but I’ve learned new things, made new friends, and have been inspired to make more! I only do one hobby like this at a time, next up is tennis lessons at our local rec center!
