Root & Rise Integrative Care

Growth happens outside of our comfort zones... this is a great way to map out your strengths, weaknesses, and fears 💝

"In the very first week of school, my students and I have a conversation about our comfort zones. I draw a circle and say, 'Everything inside this circle is what’s in your comfort zone: All the things that you do without even batting an eye.'

Then I draw another ring around the circle and tell them, 'Everything inside this circle is in your stretch zone. Those are things that you sometimes have to talk yourself into doing. To do these things, you might have to breathe and remind yourself: ‘I’m braver than I think.’'"
