Get off the comfort couch

First off, I have added a photo of the greatest personal training team on the Sunshine Coast and some random guy that just thought he would jump in the shot!

Seriously, the Shannan day (Shannan Ponton - the trainer from the Biggest Loser) was a HUGE event and I need to thank each and every person that took time out of their busy schedules to listen to the man speak for an hour plus, plus.

Another big hats off to the fatburners team and Sgt Marty Hunt + PCYC team for all their energy and enthusiasm.

This event would not have happened without you guys.

A final well done to all the people that took part in the fitness session with Shannan.

We had to bring in the emergency flood team due to the amount of sweat that was expelled!

A lot of valuable info was passed on during Shannan's talk but the one thing that shined through for me was that we all must get out of our comfort zones.

We tend to like it in the little comfort bubble we call life.

But our comfort zone doesn't allow us to expand, grow and generally rise to the next level.

So what do you need to do to get off your 'life lounge' or 'comfort couch'?

I want to hear from you. What do you need to do to grow as a person?

Hit reply and tell me what you are going to do to get out of your comfort zone.

Here's mine...

I will write at least one entry on this site every working day for the next 4 weeks.

Whether it is worthy of your readership or not is another question.

So, starting this Monday 21 September 2009 I will commit to this site for the next month.

The long term goal is to make this a daily thing...

time will tell.

Let's see how I go sticking to the first month initially.

So, here's to my 'out of the comfort zone' journey. It'd be great to have you come for the ride.

Leave a comment and tell me what you're going to do.

Keep intensity high and excuses low.

What a great film clip you put on Matt. Make's you realise that the sky's the limit. You can do anything if you really want it enough.

My comfort couch is cushioned with hopes and dreams which are yet to be made realities. One of my biggest dreams is to travel overseas and work in disadvantaged communities... so this week, as part of my 'getting off the comfort couch', I contacted World Youth International and applied to go to Kenya in January 2011 for five weeks to work as a volunteer on one of their community development projects. I have an interview tomorrow afternoon, woohoo!!!! =)
