Hey Loves,
Today I will be talking about leaving your comfort zone! Yes we all have one and for most us getting involved in any activity beyond our comfort zone is a really scary thought.
I had an experience lately that changed my perspective on this matter. Before now, I never considered myself a leader, I always thought of myself as someone in the middle that holds the balance. Not that I was ever a pushover, I just had never truly been in a leadership position. This flaw, I have mostly attributed to my shy nature.
However, a few weeks back, we were given a group presentation task and I was automatically elected leader of the group! For the first time in my life I had to lead a group of female adults! Make sure our task was completed and presented within the scheduled time.
For the first time I was in the spotlight and that really confused and worried me but I decided to face up to it. I have to say, in carrying out this duty, I learned more about my strengths and weaknesses, how far I could push myself, effectively manage a team, and at the same time, be a good team player. Needless to say anger management played a major role!
At the end of the 2 weeks I had pushed myself and my team mates hard in order to produce the best, my classmates who were also my teamates confessed to have never seen that side of me!..LOL. But it was worth it!
Not only did the presentation go smoothly, we also scored an 'A' on the module!
I am really happy I took the bull by the horn and challenged myself to do something I ordinarily would shy away from and it was absolutely worth it!
Do something out of your comfort zone today, you will love the experience it gives!
Until next time, stay blessed....xoxo
