So, I felt inspired to share this experience with you! Since everyday I condition myself to do things to get out of my comfort zone… I recently started a mantra that says… “If I can’t then I must.” So, I ran a meeting in Jersey Shore on Monday and stopped by the beach to eat my lunch and walk along the beach. It was a beautiful day about 66 degrees, the wind was blowing and the sun was shining. Just as I started to think about how refreshing the ocean would feel, I had the thought of jumping in the water. At first, I thought this was just a random thought that was crazy… and then all of a sudden I realized that it would be getting out of my comfort zone to jump in. Now, my mind started to think of all of the reasons why I shouldn’t jump in…I was in my business suit… how would I dry off… I have other meetings today… I do not have a swimming suit… and the usual mind chatter that comes up when our “adult belief systems kick in.”
So, watch this video to see what happened and ask yourself the question… When was the last time you acted upon your childlike impulses in the moment????

Joshua, this is just awesome!! I’ve done this! Well, not the whole “take my clothes off and jump in the ocean in my underwear” thing; but the “since I was wearing shorts anyway” thing. However, I don’t do it often enough. I GET THIS!! What a great wake up call.
Hahahaha… Thanks for your comment Erk!
