Sept 20: Comfort
Friday, September 20: React to this term: comfort.
Comfort. It's really easy to be comfortable. Stay comfortable. Get stuck in comfortable. I know sometimes for me I just want to stay in the cloud of our bed, because it's comfortable. That sometimes I don't want to go out, but it's not comfortable. To wear yoga pants and wooly socks and sweaters day in and day out, because it's comfortable. To avoid high heels in any sense possible, because they are torture weapons for feet, and, not comfortable. To snuggle up with a nice cup of tea, layers and layers of blankets, and a classic movie for each date night, because it's comfortable.
But if we constantly stay surrounded by comfort, we aren't going to take any risks, try something new, or change any routines. And therefore, we will become stagnant, and probably really bored. Sure it's nice to stay in bed all day, but when you finally do get up, and realized that you've missed a beauty day that reminds you it's still summer for one more day, it sure can be a downer. When you stay in all the time, because you like what you know, and don't feel comfortable being social, you miss out on making new friends, who soon enough, you will feel comfortable with too. You'll miss the flowers in bloom, the changing of the leaves, the chance to learn something.
Taking risks can be fun! Being spontaneous is so freeing. So be free, and stop planning. Planning everything down to the minute, because then you won't feel any stress, just causes more stress anyway. Planning around your comforts doesn't challenge you, doesn't let you grow.
Every once in a while, it's nice to be comfortable. To stay in, and nest. But don't forget to escape that comfort too. It'll be so good for you.
