Summary

"Where does your life want you to go sailing? In this episode of The Gathering Room, Martha is talking about the pull for adventure that all humans have but are often too scared to follow. To build up your adventuring spirit, Martha recommends going on “little adventures” every day—things that push you out of your comfort zone and into your growth zone. How do you do this? By consulting with your deep, deep essential self to see how you truly feel about all the different things you could do in a day. Then you do what feels “warmer”—what makes you happier even if it’s a little scary—and you do less of what feels colder. Because when you live your life in the growth zone, Martha says, it looks like all kinds of adventures are coming to you—because they are! For more travel and adventure inspiration, plus the opportunity to join Martha in a guided meditation, don’t miss the full episode. And to find out if Martha’s Pure.Wild.Self Retreat in Costa Rica is the adventure for you, you can check out all the details at the link below! https://marthabeck.com/retreat/"

0:29.8	Aside from the horror and the death and the disruption of the world economy, the pandemic was
0:34.7	a really sweet time for me because I didn't have to go anywhere. And truth be
0:40.8	told, I'm not very adventurous in part of my personality. So we've talked on the podcast before
0:51.1	about how there are different parts to us. And I've done a ton of traveling in my life,
0:56.3	but I'm not a good traveler. I'm not like one of those people who's like, yes, I've got everything
1:00.9	in a go bag and just put me on a plane. I've done things, a lot of things, because I realized when I was
1:08.1	14 years old that I have to do something every day that scares me,
1:11.4	or I will end up living under my bed or in a refrigerator box somewhere.
1:16.9	And it's my answer to agoraphobia is to just do something that scares me every day.
1:23.4	You may have heard me talk about the three zones of comfort.
1:27.3	There's your comfort zone.
1:28.6	I'm sitting in a comfort zone. Then there's the panic zone where you're just taken, like,
1:33.1	a situation is too difficult for your nervous system and you just flood and cannot cope.
1:38.6	Done that too. Sometimes it just lose consciousness, pass right out. In between those is what psychologists call the growth zone.
