I've shared in a few posts about getting out of my comfort zone.
The last few weeks I have had some opportunities to do just that. I attended a ladies breakfast. There would have been a day when I would have been so fearful of going by myself and not knowing anyone that I would have let fear keep me home. I faced that fear and I went by myself. Yes I felt out of place walking in by myself and yes I felt self conscious. I didn't let that stop me I found a place and I asked if the seat was taken and I let myself be friendly and say hello and I had a good time. I am looking forward to this getting easier and to having some wonderful experiences and meeting some new people. I do feel uncomfortable and I am learning that is ok. I am growing and I am expanding my view of my world and my surroundings by getting out and learning and having new experiences. We can't allow fear of failing, or fear of not fitting in to keep us from experiencing life and getting to know people. The more I get out and talk to people the more I learn that we all face the same kind of fears, we all fear rejection and not fitting in. I am seeing that I have more in common with others than I realized. I am looking forward to getting through some of the fears and growing in my personal life.
