We talk a lot here about what it means to get gutsy.
I realized though that I haven’t shared with you in awhile the things that I’m currently doing to live out my favorite mantra, “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”
I sent an email last week to the Get Gutsy community and told them how I’m stepping outside my comfort zone…I received so many amazing replies with stories of what THEY are doing to get gutsy. Very inspirational.
Today, I want to share with you some recent examples of how I’m getting gutsy (and I want to hear how YOU’RE getting gutsy too!)
Here are three things pushing me *way* outside my comfort zone right now.
1. My solo weekend getaway. Have you ever traveled alone? I took my first solo getaway last weekend! I traveled to Hershey, PA to enjoy the Chocolate Spa at The Hotel Hershey. I was a little nervous to spend the whole weekend by myself, but loved having the quiet time to clear my head and create space for brainstorming and future plans. Plus, I went to an incredible spa for the weekend, so that’s really the perfect place to go alone, right? More details to come on what I learned from my first solo getaway!
2. New client work. My freelance work is rocking and rolling and I couldn’t be more excited to be growing my side hustle with new writing clients. One of my latest assignments was writing two feature articles for a health care magazine. I’ve written several newspaper and magazine articles before, but these stories were longer and more in-depth than any I’ve previously written. In total, I completed EIGHT interviews and wrote more than 3,000 words of copy. I submitted the pieces last week after a weekend spent in my writing cave and was excited to get positive feedback from my editor. Whew!
3. Plans for the Get Gutsy blog/brand. Everything is really ramping up over here at Get Gutsy HQ! The Get Gutsy ebook launched on October 1. Next up, I’ve gathered a great group of participants for the test run of my 30 Days of Gutsy email course later this month (the course will launch to the public in the new year!). I’m busy prepping for the second annual Get Gutsy essay contest in December and January…and last week, I launched the FIRST interview in a brand new monthly series on the blog where I’ll be interviewing people stepping outside their comfort zones. Be sure to check out the first interview with one of my yoga teachers who recently quit her corporate job to teach yoga full time. There’s a lot happening here and there are so many ways for you to get involved, so stay tuned!
