If you are new around here and are looking to strengthen your current relationships & friendships OR are looking to meet new friends – CLICK HERE to begin!
YOU GUYS!! I can’t believe another week has come and gone and we are ready to introduce you to STEP FOUR of our 10 Steps To Friendship Program!! I am so excited for this step!! It is a GAME CHANGER and the week where you will most likely meet someone new!! Are you ready for this?!
So far in the program you should have checked off the following things to prepare for this week:
- Made a list of qualities that you want in a friend and worked on BECOMING that friend yourself! {More info HERE}
- Wrote out your elevator pitch to identify who you are, where you are from, what you like to do & what to say when you meet someone! {More info HERE}
- Set a Friendship Goal that you are going to HIT this month! {More info HERE}
If you have done all of those things – you are ready for Step 4 – TO GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE.
Comfort zones are SO tricky. ESPECIALLY because I am SOOO guilty of staying within MINE!! I like to do what I do. I like to go where I know where I am. I like to talk to people I have talked to before. I like to stick to my schedule. And overall, I just like to do things I am comfortable doing.
BUT TODAY. Oh gosh… TODAY THIS IS CHANGING!!!
It wasn’t until I got out of my head and I got out of my everyday routine that I met a friend. Girl… in order to make a new friend, you HAVE to put yourself out there.
It might sound super intimidating to some of you. And it may sound like a piece of cake to some others! BUT no matter how scary or crazy or simple it may sound… you’re going to do it.
You may ask, but HOW?! How do I get out of my comfort zone?! Where do I even go?! How do I begin?!
