Questions for You to Think/Journal About
* What does comfort mean to you? Is it physical, emotional, or something else entirely?
* Are you truly “comfortable” where you are now, or are you just afraid of losing what feels familiar?
* What’s one thing you’re holding onto that’s keeping you from moving abroad? Is it really as important as it feels?
* What’s one area of your life where comfort has turned into stagnation?
* If you could redefine comfort, what would it look like in a new, unfamiliar place?
* What scares you most about leaving your comfort zone to move abroad?
* What’s the worst thing that could happen if you gave up your current comforts to live your dream? And what’s the best thing that could happen?
* What’s one small step you can take today to get closer to your dream of moving abroad?
* Do you believe it’s possible to feel “comfortable” in discomfort? Why or why not?
* What’s one fear about moving abroad that feels tied to your attachment to comfort?
* If someone told you that staying comfortable would eventually lead to regret, would you still choose it?
