New Experiences – taking on things we don’t feel comfortable with
I recently agreed to take on a task I wasn’t sure I was up to.
I put it on a backburner as long as possible before I dove into it. Once I had completed it I felt a sense of “wow, that wasn’t so bad”. I felt somehow energized, stronger and a little more confident.
It seems like just facing the dreaded “monster” allowed for more growth and created a greater sense of self-confidence.
It also reminded me that this is what we ask our children to do almost daily. Depending on your child’s age there are things they face that challenge them to step outside their own comfort zone; and most of time they (or we) don’t give it a second thought. Like speaking to people they don’t know, joining a group they’ve just met, trying a skill they’ve never seen before, singing in front of others or adjusting their schedule of activities to accommodate others.
This experience allows me to see a child’s experience in a whole new light - one filled with admiration for what most kids accomplish daily. I can learn from them and rather than try to cling to my comfort zone I’ll try to embrace the challenge, remind myself how powerful it feels to complete the task and open myself to more growth and energy.
I’ll also remember to point out a child’s accomplishment and congratulate them on it. Especially the one’s that we take for granted.
