Your Comfort Zone



What's your comfort zone?

You wake up at a certain time, day in and day out after having been to bed the night before at the same time night in and night out. You eat the same thing for breakfast, use the bathroom at the exected tiime, maybe exercise, shower up, dress, head to work, come home, Netflix, bed. Rince, repeat ... until the day you don't wake up. Unless of course, you get hit by a bus. Metaphorically speaking. Oh the drama.

No one's more guilty of adhering to the daily scheduled comfort zone than I am. I need it as a writer who's required to put out a certain word count everyday. It's all about the content.

But there are times where the comfort zone has to turn into the uncomfort zone. Times when there's no coffee, no hot water, no sleep, no decent food, no TV and for God's sakes, no internet. You eat somel eafy greens or you do something really stupid like brush your teeth with tap water or choose to use ice cubes in your your Coke and you end up you spending some quality one on one time with a fly infested roadside toilet. Don't forget to bring your own TP. But you can always get a Coke. No matter where you go in the world there's Coke and Pepsi. Talk about the comforts of home.

Some people need the seadside vacation. Some people go to Paris only to shop in the same stores they shop in back home. Nothing life changing in that. But who am I to knock it?

I'm presently in the uncomfort zone pounding out this blog awaiting what I hope is a decent cup of coffee. I have entirely zero expectations.

I love it. My writing will too.
