Can we have a little chat about comfort zones and neuroplasticity?
Yes? Amazing.
This was my first night in South Korea and I was on my own. It was soooooooo uncomfortable for me. Even as someone that has lived and studied in Asia before. It wasn’t Korea before.
But I pushed through. I needed to eat. I did what I could. Tried to be kind and respectful although I felt like a terrible tourist for not knowing even the basics on how or what to order. Ended up with WAY too much food for one person. But I ate. I did it. I survived.
And guess what, the next time was easier and easier.
My brain and comfort level changed as I pushed the boundaries of where my brain wanted to keep me. Safe in my hotel room.
By the end of the trip, I was wondering all day, shopping, eating, ordering, and navigating this unfamiliar world all on my own without hesitation.
Travel more. Change your brain. Grow your world. Enrich your life. 🫶🏼
