A Recent Read: The Discomfort Zone

10/2/2019

6 Comments

 
  If you didn't already know, Farrah Storr is one of my idols. ​As an aspiring journalist, she really is quite a woman to look up to (Cosmo has been my favourite magazine for years). I had the pleasure of meeting her at a Cosmopolitan networking event a few years ago and that was when I realised that this woman was a woman. So, when she announced she was releasing a book I preordered it immediately and patiently waited for months - my god, it was worth it.

  'The Discomfort Zone' is a mixture between Farrah's personal experience, others' inspirational stories and advice/information about your own personal discomfort zone. I had a relatively stressful year in 2018 (to say the least) and I really wish this book had come out earlier because it would have motivated me to power through some hurdles much better than I did. 
  The book discusses how we cope with failure and obstacles, I've learned that I'm an 'obstacle magnifier' meaning I perceive things to be so much worse than they are. It also talks about 'hustling' and (I wish I could say it was purely a coincidence) after reading I decided to do some of my own, so I've been emailing plenty of companies to get involved with my blog - I've pushed myself out of my discomfort zone and so far it's worked pretty well.

  'The Discomfort Zone' is incredibly motivating and leaves you in a great mindset,​ which was very useful for me as I read it while juggling a few deadlines. It isn't often I hold off on how much I read because I don't want a book to end, but I did it with this. No words I write can do it justice and if you want to be successful in anything in your life (she doesn't talk specifically about journalism) I suggest you head to your nearest bookshop as soon as you can and pick up a copy (or three, for annotation).

  As always, thank you for reading! What helps you get motivated to be successful?

This definitely sounds like my kind of book. Although I don't entirely believe that everyone NEEDS to get out of their comfort zone ALL the time, it can help in some instances. For me, it's really had as I have anxiety but I always seem to feel better after I do something that scares me x

This sounds like I book I should definitely read! 2017 was a rough time for me, but at the beginning of 2018 I had several sessions with a life coach & she helped me get out of my comfort zone & accomplish my goals & the rest of the year was pretty great!

I've been stuck in such a rut for these past few years just floating along without really knowing what I wanted in life. Now I'm determined to break that down and get back into gear again, but this time without the burnout or endless desire to 'hustle'.
