I agree with you 100%. If we do not let go of the past, we are stuck in the past and cannot move forward to create our future. This topic is something I am learning about in wellness coach school, and it's intense to discuss. It is also the hardest thing to do, but if you master this skill, you'll be unstoppable.Pauline Parnell wrote: ↑07 May 2023, 03:55 Positive thinking is one method I'd suggest for conquering fear, developing, and becoming your true self. Accept who you are, identify your talents and shortcomings, maximize your genuine potential, and concentrate on those. Focus on future successes rather than previous mistakes.

Our mind is programmed to stay in the familiar. And that is why the thought of uncertainty makes us uncomfortable at various levels. We need the motivation to take a chance and step out of our comfort zone and be ready to face uncertainty.Sushan Ekanayake wrote: ↑12 Apr 2023, 19:49 This book highlights the notion that many individuals are addicted to comfort and the security of their comfort zones, leading to stagnation and a lack of growth. To break free from these constraints, we must face the discomfort that comes with personal growth and self-discovery, and confront the vulnerability that arises when we challenge our limits. By examining the role of vulnerability and courage in stepping beyond our comfort zones, we can gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between discomfort and authentic personal development.
How can embracing discomfort and vulnerability lead to authentic personal growth, and what strategies can we employ to step out of our comfort zones and confront our fears?
The best technique I found in my life is “dream big, start small”. I learned it from some lectures I attended. This means thinking of the identity you want to be, not the task you want to do, and then taking a small step towards attaining that identity. It’s the task that makes us procrastinate and not do it. Thinking about becoming the identity that we want to be and taking a small, consistent step can go a long way in easing us out of our comfort zones.
I like the research and evidence used in this book, "The Unfakeable Code". I am still reading it and waiting to see what technique I can choose from this that suits me best, that I haven't already found in other such books.

poisitve self-talk, doing things that make us uncomfortable, facing our fears, taking a leap of faith. these are all concepts easy to write, but not that easy to do.

We have to be will to take steps, slow steady steps toward change and growth. We can’t stay stuck in our comfort zones and expect to see new things happen. We must get up and make those changes, try new things, face some uncertainty and challenges along the way. In the end, growth and new life will come. We will be proud of how we have grown.
