Jump Outside Your Box

I'm sure you've at some point stepped outside your comfort zone and reaped the benefits for doing so. But sometimes your dreams and aspirations require you to leap because stepping outside your box isn't enough. Life compels you to do more, to be more, to stretch beyond your conceivable reach.

I jumped outside my box and experienced a professional stylist and her team of hair and make-up gurus help Design Me! Now of course the voice of my superwoman gremlin tried to convince me this is not something I need. My counter talk was that maybe just maybe if I relinquish control and step into the unknown I’ll receive unexpected blessings in return. In this week's Sun-day design I want you to jump outside your box and take on something you said you'd never do. 

Create a list of things you said you’d never do. I don’t mean something like you’ll never jump off a building. Your list will be outliers to your dream that you deny and resist. If you’d like to be entrepreneur what are the products and services you convince yourself would never sell. If you dream of starting a family, what are you doing to prepare for parenthood? For me, my dream is building my brand, that requires me to live outside the box it built. Now make your list and do one thing this week. Even if you don’t like it and decide you will never do that again, the act, the process of opening yourself up to receiving more insights, opportunities and learning experiences is well worth it!
