uncomfortable

here via here

remember how i don't particularly love trying new things? i don't like the unknown or feeling uncomfortable. at all. ever.

i am trying to change.

by that i mean, i am trying to be open to new things. new people. new experiences.

remember when i did yoga teacher training? that was scary for me, but it ended up being amazing. just exactly what i needed. next? this winter i'm going to learn to snowboard. (if you know me, you can laugh, it's okay.) maybe my reward should be a trip to denver? i do love that city...

i digress.

i bring all this up because there are a lot of situations in my life lately that are making me feel uncomfortable. people who operate differently than i do. inability to plan things out. lots of unknowns. it is the people i am thinking about in particular. my friends and i are type-a. we are planners, color-coded calendar types. some people in my life lately, they are not. they do not operate like this. at all.

i find this both incredibly frustrating and liberating. the rational side of my brain says just cut these people out. who has time for this silliness? the other side of my brain not-so-secretly hopes some of their laid-back, carefree attitude rubs off on me.

it's like how i wish i could be a free-spirited world wandering type. i think i would be excellent at that. you know, if the crazy side of me didn't require stability and knowing what comes next.

perhaps that is what the world is trying to tell me by infusing my life with these relaxed humans. to worry less. live more. enjoy the moment. all those things i remind myself a million times a day. i'm a work in progress, what can i say?

today's motto: learn to love the uncomfortable.

happy weekend my chickadees!
