A lumpy blanket of comfort

You should be doing better but you’re not. You know all the things that you need to do. You have a list of changes to make, people to see, work to begin. You want to see results. You want things to change. But none of it has happened because you are too comfortable as you are.

Okay, I will take it back. I mean me. I’m too comfortable.

Even though I want to make changes, it’s like I’m huddled up warm and cozy underneath my blanket of comfort. And it’s chilly out, so I definitely don’t want to leave.

But nestled underneath that comfort is a pile of regret, alarms sounding for the need to change, and the mess of a life no quite as a I wish it were. And my dissatisfaction keeps poking me. If I really get honest, It’s not really comfortable here, but I don’t know what awaits me out there.

Change is scary. Even small things, like itty bitty microchanges to routine, can feel unsettling. As I struggle to shift how I do things, I want to honor that feeling. But even still, I can’t let that feeling keep me stuck. Breaking out of comfort is hard, but staying in it isn’t feeling that much better. It’s time to just throw off the blanket and get going.

Are you really comfortable with the way things are?
