Overcoming negative thought patterns is critical to bringing your dreams to reality.

Listen up, because this is actually huge. You do not need massive discipline to make this work. You simply need a plan and a bit of inspired action. What appears to be hard-core discipline from the outside, actually is a manifestation of your inner inspired action! So let’s go get inspired, one day at a time …
Take Baby Steps to Launch Your Courage
I am not going to lie to you. This series is really simple—just not easy. However, we teach mini thought-steps, so we are just going to talk a little about courage in this first thought-step. Courage is not the lack of fear but it is pushing through fear. For sure, some of you will be so ready to feel the fear and do it anyway! Others will want to go more slowly. However, just know it is normal to experience fear when stepping out of your comfort zone. But we aren’t going to step out of our comfort zone; we’re going to do something else. Read on and you’ll see.
Expanding Your Comfort Zone Beyond Negative Thought Realm
For this first step we want you to meditate, concentrate, or just simply take one minute out to feel the fear of leaving of your present comfort zone. Close your eyes. Feel your comfort zone. Feel how warm and fuzzy and cozy you feel in that comfort zone space. Now feel your comfort zone being stretched. Now feel the fear of loss of your comfort zone. Feel your bigger, more spacious comfort zone. And now feel the feeling of your dreams came to true.
Then next, consider trading your cozy comfort zone for an expanded one that will fit that dream. Think about that dream come true being one and fitting inside your newer bigger comfort zone. So feel that fear of letting go of the old comfort zone … and let is pass through you like a cloud passing overhead. Now feel and enjoy your new expanded comfort zone! Therefore, by allowing yourself to feel this fear, without resisting it, hiding or stuffing it … you’ll already have taken the first action step to change your life for the best.
