184) The Chris Experiment: Dealing with the Discomfort of Going Outside Our Comfort Zone

The Power of Community & Collaboration in SB Podcast

In this episode I begin by giving you updates from Brain BS Land and then we dive into the Chris Experiment. I met Chris at my friend Denise's house here in Santa Barbara. We started talking about Pickleball and how she wanted to try it. I suggested she should come on the podcast and we do an experiment around tapping into the courage that is required to try something new.
Well instead of signing up for Pickle, she opted for tennis which was more familiar to her and despite that, it was a super uncomfortable experience for her. Why? Because loads of Brain BS came up that I am sure you will be able to relate to as well.
If you have been itching to try Pickleball or anything else that is new, this episode will help you to understand how your brain is going to react to that and how you can manage it consciously and prepare in advance so that you are more likely to experience success.
Listen to the end to hear how Chris deals with the challenge I gave her in the episode and to hear my special offer around Pickleball for the locals in Santa Barbara and surrounding area.

Trying new things does require some courage but not as much as you might think if you learn how to manage your mind consciously.
I also want to offer that as we get older, we don't have time to lollygag and put things off indefinitely anymore. Our time here is limited and I highly suggest Pickleball be a part of it! LOL
