What is holding you back from life’s best today? Could it be fear of leaving your comfort zone?

How are you doing on your journey of growth and transformation? Are you moving forward at a rewarding rate or have things been slowing down recently? Is your life aligning with your dreams or are you still stuck with the same problems?

Perhaps you’ve made good progress earlier, only to find yourself stuck now.

That can be a very frustrating place because you’ve dreamed about how your life will be when you’ve reached your goals. You can see the benefits: a healthier lifestyle, a larger income, more satisfying relationships, more fulfilling work, and the satisfaction of knowing that you are doing exactly what you’ve always wanted to do.

Yet, although you can see the finish line, you are standing still.  You have put in lots of time and effort to develop new skills and change your habits. You have taken courses, embarked on new ventures, only to find yourself stuck now. 

So what happened?

I can't say I know the answer for you.  There could be many reasons, but I always suspect one factor when this happens. Up to now, you might have coped with change comfortably, making great strides without having had to stretch yourself too much.  But from here on, any new step forward requires a step out of your comfort zone.

To change your life for the better, you have to accept the fact that you can no longer do things the same old way.

Making a commitment to change is a big step.  During the early stages of growth, the excitement about the new process may energize you to read a book, take a course, or go through the details of setting up a new business or lifestyle.

All those preparations are necessary and good - but they amount to nothing unless you are able to follow through on your dream.  Creating your dream means venturing into new territory – new, unknown, and often uncomfortable terrain.  And that is where the rub lies. 

You may be spinning your wheels with all kinds of ‘keeping busy’ projects, yet not tackling the core issue because that would require stepping out of your comfort zone.

If you feel that you've made pretty good progress but are currently stalled, you’ll need to address the old habits, beliefs or fears that are holding you back.   Only by clearing out these limitations, can we free ourselves up to move forward into new ways of being without sabotaging our progress in some way.

Some of the biggest agents of sabotage in our lives are those subconscious belief systems that we inherited from our families, communities, the media or from peers.  These limiting beliefs will defeat our best efforts of willpower and intellect with their insidious messages of fear, lack, limitation, failure, shame, guilt and judgment.  Just as a weak foundation cannot support a tall structure built on it, so we are not able to successfully build positive outcomes in our lives when there are conflicting patterns at the core of our being. 

Limiting beliefs and patterns in the subconscious set up a low vibrational attractor field that will attract similar, low vibrational outcomes no matter how hard you try to accomplish optimal outcomes.  So instead of beating yourself up because of feeling stuck or because of your inability to venture out of your comfort zone (and thus adding to the problem), how about clearing those limiting patterns instead so you can set up high vibration attractor fields for optimal outcomes?

You don’t have to be the victim of your past conditioning or limiting beliefs any longer – unless you choose to remain there!  Today, there are wonderful techniques available that can help you to identify the root causes and triggers that cause energy blocks and stagnation in your life. 

As soon as you clear these low vibrations out of your energy field, your vibrational frequency will rise to higher levels and you will attract higher outcomes with grace and ease.

You are the captain of your ship, and you can change the course of your life for the better.  Make a commitment today, and in a few short weeks you will find that you are able to operate comfortably in areas you previously regarded as a discomfort zone.

As you clear out the causes of fear, confusion and insecurity, you will be able to access and radiate more peace, assurance, trust, faith, confidence and joy.
