Stepping Out
I accomplished two cool things this past week:
1) Wrote a syllabus for an undergraduate level course
2) Wore a 2 piece bathing suit to a crowded pool.
What do these 2 things have in common? They both pushed me waaaaay out of my comfort zone! Getting uncomfortable has become sort of my thing over the past twelve months.
I moved from the house where I lived for over ten years into an apartment neighborhood an hour away.
I joined a leadership group full of people I did not know in “real life.”
I started playing golf with strangers.
I stepped away from a career that spanned two decades without a real backup plan.
I accepted a part time faculty position at a university (hence the syllabus).
And yes, I spent several hours at a resort pool wearing a two piece bathing suit (I don’t think my midriff has seen sunlight since the 1970s)!
Some years ago, I came across this visual on Tumblr.
