LITTLE MISS COMFORT ZONE
The secret to success is mindset. Simple, right? But it really is just a simple shift in your thinking. Nothing shifted in my outer world until there was a shift in my inner world. THEN the universe manifested my reality. So I’ve learned that happiness really IS an inside job! A few years ago I was little Miss Comfort Zone! My multiple fears paralysed me from moving forward in my life, plus it was easier and felt safer to play small and be the victim of circumstances, rather than take any responsibility for my life. For nearly ten years I stayed in a soul-destroying job, my health was the worst it had ever been and I had a serious car accident, but I went straight back to work – because it was ‘safe’. My personal self-development journey really began when Oprah came to Australia in December 2015. Oprah quoted William Ernest Henley who said; “I am the Master of my fate. I am the Captain of my soul.” Hearing Oprah speak those words struck me like a bolt of lightning - I realised I needed to have a conversation with myself around accountability. I had been playing the victim my whole life, blaming others and circumstances for why I wasn’t happy with my life. I finally realised no-one can change my life circumstances but me. What were my deepest emotions and feelings around change? Was I really willing to step up and change my life? Was I ready to own my own mistakes? I really questioned what were my core beliefs about myself and who was I really? I AM JUST ME! There is power in that statement because I realised I am perfect just the way I am. It was time for me to just own it! In order to create my ideal life I first had to learn what that actually means to me as an individual which took a lot of internal work. I joined a meditation group, read self development books, watched webinars and enrolled in courses.

I learned that manifesting your ideal life begins with knowing exactly what you want and truly believing you can achieve this. There is no room for self-doubt, because your subconscious mind can’t tell the difference between reality and your imagination. Then take intentional steps towards your ideal life. Your thoughts become your reality, so really, truly believe in yourself and the rest will follow. When you start taking responsibility for your own life and begin acting with thoughtful intention, you also begin taking fate into your own hands. I now start each morning and set my intention for the day with a short visualisation meditation. I created a beautiful gold vision board that included all my big goals and dreams and focus daily on that also. Once my inner world changed, my outer world followed. With the use of nutrition and herbal medicines, I slowly recovered from long-term adrenal fatigue, thyroid and hormonal disorders. I also changed my diet completely and finally shed the many kilos of excess weight I was hiding under. I left my old ‘comfort zone’ job, established my own business and now spend my days working with men and women, helping them be their best selves. I just love my life now and feel like my soul is lit up inside. Only in hindsight can I see how good things happened when I got out of my own way, stepped out of my comfort zone and let my light shine. It was scary but worth the journey. I’ve become the Master of my fate and the Captain of my soul! Natasha Zervaas Green Secrets Holistic Health Clinic www.greensecrets.com.au facebook.com/greensecretsholistichealth
