Get out of your comfort zone

[Guest Zorro]

Hi. I thought it would be worth encouraging and reminding people that an important part of recovering and growing as a person is learning to live outside your comfort zone. When we learn to let go and face fears we are going to feel horrible. Part of recovery is to live your life feeling yuck. Do things you want to, even though you feel yuck doing it. Over time, you'll start to slowly feel better. So it's best to judge your recovery over longer periods, rather on a daily basis.

Good advice Zorro

Great advice. I went out tonight for a night out and allowed my thoughts and anxiety to be there and carried on doing what I'd do if they weren't there. You might even feel like you are denying it or "trying to escape the scary reality" by doing so, but you let that feeling be there and continue. It made me realise that you are in control of your behaviour despite what your brain is telling you.
