As a Virgo and an INFP, it is clear to see that I can reside in a land of idealism. I thrive on an internal way of being, analysing, planning and perfecting.
My India trip really did almost tip me over the edge. I learnt that when you begin to embrace the different shades that life has to offer, that is when you really begin to expand. I realised that although I lived a pretty fulfilled life, something wasn't working for me. Things were missing and my internal and external world seemed to be in conflict. I went on a two week volunteering stint at the amazing Gwinganna Health Retreat and was exposed to various practitioners and their very different ways of thinking. I had unveiled the secret - an open mind. I took time out to recalibrate. I realised that it was time to embrace a much broader way of being.
As a result I began to live more beyond my comfort zone than ever before, releasing myself from a strong system I had created. I started by getting a Personal Trainer, trying some new methods of dating, saying no to people and situations that didn't energise me, saying yes to things that freaked me out - like Powerlifting, getting a spirit-fuelled life coach, embracing my crazy curly hair and even starting this blog!
Great things never come from living in your comfort zone
This new way of being has meant I have been able to be more free, less restricted and open to all that life has to offer! I still operate very much on an internal level, but no longer feel weighed down in the pursuit of perfection.
