But I've got to ask - do your decisions to leap out of your comfort zone always result in you landing the right way up? Or do you sometimes have regrets? If so, I'd love to share my life hack for decision-making with you. The trick is to know WHEN to leave your comfort zone - AND it might not always be when you think.Taking that big leap outside of your comfort zone isn't always appropriate either, despite what some motivational speakers might preach.I believe that the trick to knowing when leap, and also knowing when to go easy on yourself and stay safe, is to understand your core values...When you truly know what makes you tick and is most important to you, then the decisions you make will come from a place of self-awareness. In my experience as a Life Coach, these decisions are the most authentic and the most satisfying.You can ask the opinions of as many people as you like, but at the end of the day, this is your life to live.
