Okay, guys, here it is: the live video of jumping off the tallest building in New Zealand. The ride down is at about 85 mph. BIG fun. :)
This jump was a risk that I opted to take, and that my boyfriend Michael opted out of. Most everyone else has said they wouldn't dream of doing it. Why did I? Comfort zone expansion.
When we think of changing things in our lives or businesses, of going to the next level, and then actually do something which commits us, we often get that uncomfortable feeling inside. "Oh, NO! What have I done??" Kind of like the feeing I had when I leapt off that platform. Sometimes, that feeling alone will force us to turn back from our goals, and prevent us from living our dreams.
The key to breaking that cycle is to learn to tolerate that feeling, and eventually embrace it. Feeling uncomfortable is a good sign. It means you're pushing through the membrane of the universe you've already created into the universe you want to create. Being on that edge feels funny, but it won't kill you. By taking unrelated risks such as this jump and stepping out of your comfort zone, you can practice having that feeling and going forward anyway.

You might label this uncomfortable feeling as panic or nervousness. What if you called it a membrane tremor instead? "Oh! I just felt a membrane tremor!" you can say. If you're with someone when it happens, you can look at the person with a smile and say, "Did you feel it, too?"
I can feel your membrane tremors from here. And I can't wait to see the new universe you're creating.
