“Comfort zones are most often expanded through discomfort.”
Peter McWilliams

If you are feeling uncomfortable, whether it be through anxiety or depersonalization, look at this as a sign. Welcome this signal because it could change your life for the better. Your mind and body are alerting you to signs that you are doing something wrong or not at all. This is the time to take action.
You may be failing to nurture yourself and this is the warning that allows you to make the decision regarding change.

If you feel uncomfortable where you are right now, then this is a strong message to make change. No one wants to remain in the position where they are unhappy, suffering, or living a life that is compromised. This is where you are able to USE your discomfort.

Anxiety and depersonalization are both conditions based upon your belief system. This means they are triggered and fueled by the way you think. We are what we think about all day long.

You have a choice. You have the final decision. You may choose to remain stuck in anxiety and/or DP, or you can decide to take the necessary steps to move up and out of these disorders. In order to do this, one must recognize their discomfort and frankly have had their fill of it. That is how you know you are ready to move on. You’ve had enough and remaining stuck is no longer an option.

Make your choice because you are worth it. The only thing that matters is that you are facing forward this time. Never look back, do not be satisfied to remain stuck and frustrated. Living your life requires your cooperation. Take the responsibility to be happy. Listen to your discomfort then crush it by taking the proper steps out.

Have a great day.
