I am planning a “Comfort Zone Shake-up” post that shares some tips and stories from you about getting out of your comfort zone.
Please contribute one sentence (or more) that I could feature in the post, and I will include a link back to your blog. Non-bloggers, I would love to hear from you too!
Ideas of what to send:
- Tell a brief story about a time you got out of your comfort zone. How did it go?
- What are the benefits of trying new things or things that make you uncomfortable? What are the risks?
- What tip do you have for someone who is avoiding trying new things?
Please email your contribution to me at
marcy{AT}tootimidandsqueamish{DOT}com
or by using the contact form at the right.
I can’t wait to hear your stories and tips. Thank you!

Wow! Just stumbled upon your blog and I love the concept. I’ll think about what to contribute to this “assignment” but just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that I am a new follower.

Thanks so much.
What’s the timeframe on this, Marcy? I’m interested in sending something.

I would like have all of them by Sat., 12/24, and then will probably post it within a few days of then. Thanks!
My tip re: encouraging kids & friends to try something new – DON’T push. Offer, perhaps describe how much you enjoyed a food/experience, but being pushed to try things outside my comfort zone pretty much settles I won’t enjoy them even if I am coerced to try them.
Something I enjoyed (seriously) was target shooting with my ex b-f. The whole clay pigeon thing, very satisfying to pull the trigger and hit a moving target. I never thought I’d like firing a weapon.

Good tip. I have a son who is a very picky eater, and you’re right, if I push, it is guaranteed that he’ll say he hates it. Congrats on hitting a moving target! I tried one time but couldn’t hit anything.
