Not everyone dreams of driving on the “wrong” side of the road while navigating hairpin turns and tiny village streets—and if that's you, you're not alone. The good news? You can experience the beauty, charm, and adventure of Scotland without ever getting behind the wheel. In this episode of the Scotland, Your Way series, I'm breaking down exactly what it's like to travel through Scotland car-free.

I'll walk you through the logistics so you can plan smarter and travel with confidence.

Driving in Scotland is a whole different experience—left-hand driving, impossibly narrow roads, and roundabouts at nearly every turn. You might find yourself squeezing past a stone wall on one side and an oncoming car on the other, wondering how this can count as a two-lane road. If that sounds a little intimidating, you're not alone. But driving is often the most efficient—and rewarding—way to explore the country. In Part 1 of this two-part series, I'm walking you through what it's actually like to take the wheel in Scotland. From understanding road types to navigating roundabouts and shifting your mindset for left-side driving, this episode will help you head into your trip with a clear sense of what to expect. You might still feel a little anxious the first time you hit the road, but being prepared can go a long way toward making the whole experience feel less overwhelming—and a lot more doable. → Get SUPPORT designing your SCOTLAND TRIP ← Connect w/ Angela on Instagram LISTEN BACK: Episode 25: Learn Your Travel Style (Part 3: Confidence) Episode 76: Travel Style Series 2.0: Is Your Travel Style Keeping You in Your Comfort Zone?

In this episode of The Streaking Podcast, Jeff challenges the common advice to "get out of your comfort zone" and presents a more effective approach: expanding your comfort zone through small, consistent actions. Instead of forcing yourself into overwhelming situations that trigger fear and burnout, Jeff explores how gradual, intentional growth leads to lasting success. Backed by neuroscience and real-life examples—including his own experiences with public speaking—he explains how streaking helps build confidence, skill, and resilience over time. Tune in to learn why consistency, not intensity, is the key to sustainable growth and how you can set streaks that make personal and professional development feel natural. Keep streaking! Key Takeaways Common advice to "get out of your comfort zone" is flawed Instead, focus on expanding your comfort zone Too much discomfort triggers a fight-or-flight response The neuroscience behind gradual growth Streaking is the ideal way to expand your comfort zone.

Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone in Business Today, we're discussing stepping out of your comfort zone, a challenge many face when starting a new business. In new ventures, like a flower farm, we often seek help from peers. While this can be comforting, it may also lead to stagnation. Spending too much time with others who are struggling can hinder our progress. Successful individuals share key habits: They make decisions based on facts, not assumptions. They recognize that time is money. They surround themselves with more successful people. The company we keep influences our behavior. If we only seek help from those at our level or below, we risk feeling stuck. Ask for advice from those who have succeeded. Embrace challenging environments. Recently, I was encouraged to attend a small business conference. Initially, I felt overwhelmed and doubted my ability to contribute. It's normal to feel scared in new situations. But stepping out of your comfort zone—those daunting experiences can transform your business. We all face challenges along our journeys, so let's support each other in striving for growth!

Buckle up. You're about to enter into the ether of a zen-like, hypnotic flow conversation with a +2 handicap index golfer who recently won his club tournament - at 54 years of age. Meet Jesse Perryman - a competitive amateur golfer, father of five, with a deep-rooted fascination of psychology (alongside a degree in it) and the host of the Flaghunters Golf Podcast. He's been golfing for over 40 years, including three years as a Division I golfer, alongside multiple tournament trophies. Jesse has an eerily similar and unique view about harnessing the power of your subconscious mind to play your best golf. In today's episode, you'll learn: The importance of setting intentions before a round, being present in the moment, and getting out of your comfort zone. The need to embrace nerves and doubts as part of the human experience and use them as a guide for growth. The concept of the pie chart, which includes technical skills, physical well-being, and the mental game as key components of improvement. Why ever golfer - no matter their handicap - should enter tournaments as soon as possible. How - and why - to practice passionate acceptance about their natural fear and nervousness on the course. The importance of accepting where you are in your golf game to facilitate growth. Get your pencils ready and start listening. P.S. Please excuse the audio on my end - I lost my voice that week and barely held it together for the conversation. Connect with Jesse Host of The Flaghunters Golf Podcast Twitter/X: @podflag > > > If you enjoy Jesse and I riffing (we've talked for HOURS), you can catch two more hours of conversation between the two of us discussing all things mindset on his show here: Conquering Self-Sabotage on the Golf Course with Paul Salter Achieving Flow State in Golf and Life with Paul Salter Key Takeaways: Setting intentions before a round can help golfers relax and alleviate stress. Being present in the moment is crucial for optimal performance on the golf course. Getting out of your comfort zone, such as playing in tournaments, can lead to significant growth and improvement. Embracing nerves and doubts is part of the human experience and can serve as a guide for progress. The pie chart concept highlights the importance of technical skills, physical well-being, and the mental game in golf improvement. Accept fear and nervousness as part of the game and embrace the energy in your body. Simulate tournament conditions in practice to prepare for competitive rounds. Play the golf course in your mind to develop the right mindset for playing your best. Meditation can help cultivate mental resilience and the ability to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations. Accept where you are in your golf game to facilitate growth and improvement. Key Quotes: "You need to be able to remember it under duress or if you're starting to go the other way, you're going to play well because I can guarantee your listeners that listen to this podcast, Paul, that if they do that, they will supersede their expectations during the course of the round." "When you can, when you start whatever that practice is, whether it's meditation, whether it's yoga, whether it's breath work, whatever it is, chanting, I don't care. Scottie Shephler's single greatest asset he has in his game right now is his ability to be in the present moment." "Your pie chart is in motion. It's in motion. You have the basics. Hey man, I want you to get up and work out every day or get some movement in your body. That's going to be huge because a stiff golf swing is not going to lend itself to fluidity of mind." "Whether you make this or you miss it, you're not going to die. So just get up and hit the damn thing." "What you resist persists." "Use one ball. Don't use three balls. Don't use a sleeve. Just use one ball." Subscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter.

You did it. You're committing to making a leap from your comfort zone. You're making an Edge Move! Maybe you're proposing a new project at work or applying for a new position within your company. Maybe you're taking the lead on a campaign or managing a client meeting. But as you execute your Edge Move, implementing new action by new action to get there, the voice of doubt, fear, and uncertainty consume you. “I can't do this.” “I've never done this before.” “I can't fail.” Dialogue along these lines are self-limiting beliefs: assumptions we have about ourselves and our work. And if you listen to them, they can hold you back in your comfort zone, stopping you from accomplishing your goals. I'm going through this right now. From July and now into August, I've been preparing and creating a client presentation that's has undoubtedly left my knickers in a knot. I was excited when signing the contract, and now I'm full of second guesses and worry. After using three tactics that I'm going to share with you today, I was able to uncover and face my self-limiting beliefs, not letting them get in the way of me rocking this keynote presentation. The three tactics include: Feeling the squirm. Reflecting on your emotions and finding the source. Considering the passengers in your vehicle. What do these tactics mean and how can you apply them?

In this episode, I share insights from a recent VIP retreat where I worked with a small group of clients to help them transform their lives and move fully from stage three to stages four and five of healing from betrayal. The key theme that emerged was the importance of willingness. Here are the five crucial traits of willingness that can significantly impact your healing journey: Willingness to Move Out of Your Comfort Zone: Growth begins outside your comfort zone. Change won't happen if you stay within familiar confines. Challenge yourself to embrace discomfort as a sign of progress. Willingness to Venture into the Unknown: Stepping into the unknown is necessary for true transformation. This means being open to new experiences and trusting the process, even when the outcome is uncertain. Willingness to Think Bigger: Expand your perspective and challenge your current limitations. Thinking bigger allows you to break free from restrictive beliefs and envision a more empowered future. Willingness to Give Up Your Story: Letting go of the painful narrative that defines your betrayal allows for the creation of a more empowering story. This shift is crucial for moving beyond being stuck in past hurt. Willingness to Embrace Hard Now, Easy Later: Short-term discomfort and hard work lead to long-term ease and fulfillment. Making drastic changes and addressing the root issues head-on is essential for lasting transformation. Key Takeaways: Comfort Zone: Life and change happen outside of your comfort zone. Embrace discomfort as a sign of growth. Unknown: Being willing to venture into the unknown can lead to significant personal growth and new opportunities. Bigger Thinking: Expand your mindset to achieve more than you initially believed possible. New Story: Reframe your betrayal story into one of empowerment and transformation. Hard Now, Easy Later: Embrace short-term challenges for long-term ease and success. Reflection Questions: Are you willing to move past your comfort zone? Are you open to venturing into the unknown? Can you challenge yourself to think bigger? Are you ready to let go of your current story? Will you embrace hard now for an easier later? Action Steps: Reflect on the areas where you may be stuck in your comfort zone. Identify any fears you have about venturing into the unknown and challenge them. Set a goal to expand your thinking beyond current limitations. Write a new narrative for your betrayal experience that empowers you. Commit to making the hard changes now for long-term benefits. Join the Journey: If you're interested in participating in a future VIP retreat or working within The PBT Institute, reach out and get on the list. Embrace these five traits of willingness to transform your healing journey. Connect with Us: Website: The PBT Institute https://thepbtinstitute.com

For more than 40 years, Margie has been known as Hollywood's top audition coach.

Have you ever heard of the phrase: "Magic Happens Outside of Your Comfort Zone"? The chances are, you probably did, but like many you probably struggle to see what this means for you in the context of everyday life. You are not alone. Most people don't because the 'Comfort Zone' is there to keep you safe from a danger that doesn't often even exist, mostly made up by your brain. You see, your brain doesn't know the difference between what is real and what is imagined. When you are in a situation where things are starting to get unfamiliar, it creates an unwanted imaginary future that creates fear and anxiety in you. So you stop taking action to keep yourself safe!
We chatted with author L'Oreal Thompson Payton about her book, Stop Waiting for Perfect: Step Out of Your Comfort Zone and Into Your Power.

L'Oreal's work, featured in outlets like Bitch, Bustle, Essence, SELF, and Well + Good, blends confessional career and life advice with inspirational insight and humor. She authentically shares her lessons and imperfections, inviting readers to join her on the journey.We asked L'Oreal for her wise words for anyone starting fresh and she shared her advice for showing up messy, setting aside our need to be perfect, and just putting pen to paper. If you're a creator or writer, you will definitely want to hear her wise words! We love her advice on "feeling the fear" and not waiting for the perfect moment to get started on your journey.Listen to the full episode with L'Oreal: https://www.freshstartsregistry.com/podcast-episodes/loreal-thompson-payton-the-reframing-of-perfectionL'Oreal's website: https://www.ltinthecity.com/Stop Waiting for Perfect: Step Out of Your Comfort Zone and Into Your Power: https://amzn.to/3PlHvET Mentioned in this episode:Become a Fresh Starts Expert!What is the Fresh Starts Expert Membership?

Still, if you have an introverted personality type, getting ahead at work can be a challenge. This podcast episode is going to tell you how to leverage your introvert superpowers (because I promise, you have them) and WIN in the workplace as an introvert.

Unfortunately, upper management might mistake your introverted personality for disengagement or even disagreeableness. But there are steps you can take to make your voice heard, highlight your accomplishments, and connect with your colleagues, all while staying true to YOU.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and today I'm going to share six ways to step outside your comfort zone, with stories from Chicken Soup for the Soul: Get Out of Your Comfort Zone. This is one of my favorite pieces of advice from the world of Chicken Soup for the Soul: to try new things --even if they're scary. I find it so empowering and energizing when I do new things—even something as simple as shopping at a different grocery store. And of course there are the big things, too, like taking a vacation in a country I've never been to before. I am constantly reminding myself to make a habit of saying yes to new things, because otherwise my world will accidentally get narrower and narrower. Learn more about your ad choices.

Novelty can be hugely important. It can be anxiety provoking for some people and you've got to be careful about that. But one of the things that we know is curiosity and novelty are associated with activity in these areas of brain that release and process dopamine. Dopamine is a modulator that, as I mentioned, promotes plasticity. Some work even suggests that if you, let's say, put an animal in a box and you let it explore this box that it's never been in before, its brain gets flooded with dopamine. Then if you give it some task, now it will be better at remembering the things that it was doing for this task. So in other words, that dopamine can have this spreading effect. So I think that is something that will improve people's memory, potentially. And also I think that kind of engagement is just good for people in general. There's also just a lot of value in seeing and feeling that you're learning. It can get very easy to get into a rut and then feel like everything is the same. Sometimes you lose that curiosity as you get older. I know because I see this in my colleagues sometimes and I'll say, Hey, what are the findings in your lab that you're most excited about? And they'll say, Nothing's new, it's all the same, we're all just rehashing the same stuff. And I find that so depressing because it is like my whole business is curiosity and I am a big believer in the power of curiosity." On The Mind-Body Connection "If you want to improve your cognitive functioning, or you want to retain your cognitive functioning over time and you want protect your brain health, consider that your brain is the seed of the mind and it is a part of your body. I think a lot of people have this idea of somehow I am my mind, and then my brain is separate. And it's not. It is all connected. What this means is that if you're not taking care of your mental health, your emotional health your physical health, it's going to affect your cognition and possibly increase your risk for dementia.... If you want to get in to the positives, sleep and exercise are very important." On Prioritizing & Memory "So at a minimum you want to prioritize, right? So I don't hear people telling me, Boy, I remember this temporary password that I had from 10 years ago. That's really great. I'm so happy about this. Even if you remembered everything else, you wouldn't tell me this, right? And you certainly wouldn't tell me I remembered that you're happier about ...
