Comfort Zone Expansion For
Health And More

January - 2010
First of all,
a VERY HAPPY NEW
YEAR to you and THANK YOU so much for subscribing to my newsletter in
2009. I would like to start this New Year issue with one of
my
own quotes from my book ‘The
Life Champion In You’ because it mentions the word ‘year’.
“Just
imagine what you would be able to accomplish in a year’s time, whether
for your health, professional or personal life, if you were to get just
a little bit uncomfortable and expand your comfort zone by just 10%”
Since
this is usually the time when we reflect on what we did (or did not do)
during the past year and try to envision what our next twelve months
will be like, it’s a very appropriate time to really understand what is
possible for us in 2010.
One of the most important areas
that we should all focus on for our personal development is our
health. Although I’m in pretty good health due to my
lifestyle
habits, I know there is always room for
improvement. As my
quote above states, I want to get a bit uncomfortable and expand my own
comfort zones by 10%, which really means a bit at a time.
One
of the changes I’ve decided to do revolves around what I eat during
lunchtime. I want to increase my intake of fresh green
vegetables
in my diet and lunchtime would be an ideal opportunity for me to do
this. Instead of just having the same sandwiches every day
for
lunch, I’ve decided to make some simple but healthy salads a few times
per week. The comfort zone expansion part for me in this would be
to
take the time to buy extra salad ingredients from the grocer and then
to actually make my salads.
I personally usually don’t
like to take time to prepare my meals so this is an extra bit of work
for me (typical bachelor I suppose). But I’ve come up with a
new
personal salad recipe. This involves mixing Romaine lettuce,
with
tuna, small chunks of low fat cheese and bits of whole-wheat toast with
low fat peanut butter. I’ve never actually seen this recipe
before but I thought that the ingredients would mix well
together. And I was right, this salad combination is pretty
yummy
if I do say so myself!
I’m now doing this a few times per week
and this will help me improve my own health and I can imagine that in a
year’s time, I will be even healthier than ever before just from this
simple increase in fresh greens which will boost my intake of vitamins,
minerals and anti-oxidants. And this will help keep my body
weight at the level of where I want it to be.
So for yourself,
ask what areas in YOUR life would you like to improve this year and
what 10% comfort zone expansions can YOU do? If you take
appropriate action on a regular basis, just think of where YOU would be
and how much you would have IMPROVED in your own self-development ONE
YEAR from now.
This would certainly be a GREAT way to start your New Year!
