Stepping Outside the Comfort Zone

I went to see UP this weekend with my mom. It was a very depressing movie. Yes, it turned around and was all "awwwwwwwww," but there were quite a few times it brought me to tears. I don't think it's a good movie for kids, because I don't think they can fully comprehend the takeaway of the movie.

It really got me thinking though. I mean, the main value/lesson I got out of it is to do everything you can do before it's too late. If you have a dream, go for it! Don't hold back and keep pushing it off, because one day, it will be too late, and you make never accomplish it. With that said, I know I need to step outside the comfort zone I set for myself and actually get out there and do stuff.

I need to stop thinking or talking about going on vacation, and actually plan one. Get out there and just do it. I need to stop just talking about taking a day off and actually do it! Sit outside, get some sun, relax the day away and not worry what housework I SHOULD be doing or what work-work I may be missing. Seriously...start living for the now because tomorrow isn't guaranteed.

If only I could actually get over that hump and DO IT. It's one thing to say it and another to do it. Kinda like running in the morning. I have ALL INTENTIONS of getting up and running every morning, but then the alarm goes off and I'm like ehhhhh, I can sleep a little longer. But doing that doesn't help me achieve my goal of toning up and slimming down. Yeargh.

But yea, that movie really got me thinking. I don't want to put myself into debt, but maybe I do need to move outside the comfort zone and do what I want to do...not what I should do or need to do. I'm not talking neglect paying bills or keeping up with important stuff, I just mean that instead of feeling guilty for doing fun stuff, I should embrace it and enjoy it because it is fun! It's what I want to do.

So there we have it. I know what I need to do...now it's just a matter of doing it. Get'r'done!
