The Fire Starter Sessions - Comfort Zoning

.
This chapter is by far, above and beyond, my favorite. It jams on instincts about people and situations, about how, if you are in tune and listening to yourself, you can avoid many a mistake and bad choice. It starts off talking about theories and a mindset that keeps us away from many a bad choice, and in the end it comes to remind you of what you can do to pick back up when intuition is ignored and the inevitable mistake becomes a thing that happened. We're all learning, sometimes our intuition tell us something that we just don't want to believe and so we try to prove it wrong... and that's where learning comes in. Pick up, brush off, learn from it, listen harder.

The first time someone shows themselves to you, believe them.

When I do the following, I am guaranteed to feel close to 100% improved:

- visit San Francisco, specifically time with Chelsea and Ruby

- go out with close friends dancing or even just to dinner

- watch a favorite movie/reading a favorite book
- starting and finishing a small project

When I do the following, I will likely feel a sense of relief or improvement:

- work out

- dance

- travel

- sit at the beach

- photo adventure/walk

- write it out

- talk it out with one of a few good, close friends

Even though I think that doing the following will bring me relief and comfort, they actually aren't helpful at all:

- sleeping all day

- eating crappy food

- buying things (magazines, movies, other impulse buys)
- talking to guys from my past
