I did a sleep study back in November of 09 and let me tell you...getting wired up like that...yeah just a little different, especially when you're asleep. Good point about being outside of your comfort zone. We go through life with others manipulating our time and priorities. A majority of people will try this or that and then never really keep up with it. As you have shown and proven focused concise effort with desire drive and determination always lead to success.

Talking to complete strangers is not new for me. I do it all the time at the grocery store, WalMart, or where ever. I have a problem getting up in front of a crowd. Last year I took on the job of Drop-Center Coordinator for Operation Christmas Child and some how one of the local T.V. Stations decided they want to do an interview about how our church was helping this excellent cause. I called my pastor and told him and he knew how uncomfortable I would be, and he asked me if I wanted him to call one of the Junior Pastors to answer the questions. I gladly told him to get someone here fast. I had only been in the position for 6 weeks and I felt that I just didn't know enough to be able to answer the questions that the reporter would pose to me. But this year I am ready for anything. I can talk to anyone one on one but not to a group. Angie Hey there Kevin,

Glad to see it turned out not to be a sleep disorder. I just got back from a sales trip to California. We were test marketing a new product, setting appointments with business owners and explaining what we knew little about. Talk about out of the comfort zone!! The last appointment was with the operations manager who had to leave just as we got there. He would be back in a half hour. The CEO saw us outside in the production yard and wanted to know who the heck we were. There were three of us and Paul is 6'-8" tall, really sticks out. Long story short the CEO made us feel really at home and was very interested in what we had to offer. Best meeting of the trip. Complimenting someone is something I often do and is not out of my comfort zone. It usually has wonderful results. It's not about me, but all about them. Give it a try, you will enjoy it!

My daughter was 4 before she slept thru the night. I took her to a sleep clinic as well. No answers from them. I did find an answer myself. It may sound strange but I bought her a water bed. Honest! Wish I would of tried it years before! Worked like a charm! Good Luck! Kathy Hiya, Cute lit’l guy. My daughter was 4 before she slept thru the night. I took her to a sleep clinic as well.

I had the same experience with the wired baby when my oldest was 1. It is amazing that they can get all them wires on such an active little toddler! You are right about getting out of your comfort zone. It is awkward at first but as you embrace it, it gets easier and easier. As a mother to young children I am amazed at how many times they have to get out of their comfort zone. It is daily. The adults that stop getting out of their comfort zones are the ones who are just settling or that do not think they have a choice. It is much more rewarding to get a little uncomfortable every now and again! Thanks for the great article! What a sport your little Brock is!

It is said children that not sleep well have alergy to some food. orientation of his bed must be north. With my son I had the same problem, so I gave him a bath and put him in bed. I massage his back until he felt asleep.Brock is happy child he is fine Children are incredible sometimes we have to learn from them.

I agree with the idea of always finding something good to say, to people you come in contact with. It's one step closer to a wonderful and happy time for all concerned.

Great story about Brock & great idea. Actualy, I think I've seldom if ever been outside my comfort zone. I just have a very large comfort zone, & it readily expands to whatever size or shape I need it to have. I've been in many situations such as my many experiences in the Peruvian jungle in 1975 & 76 that have stretched me, & I hope made me a better & wiser person, but I've honestly never felt outside my comfort zone. Your suggestion about complimenting strangers is something that I have done all my life, almost automatically, and continue to do at the age of 70 & will as long as God leaves me on this earth. Where ever I go, shopping, grocery store, out to eat, at airports, on planes, trains or buses, etc., I always strike up a conversation with people around me or people waiting on me. I always look for things to compliment people about, and I always find out their names. Often bank tellers, waitresses, etc. have told me things in their lives they are struggling with & asked me to pray for them "because I know you must be a Christian (which I am, but I think that's better shown by actions than by telling people I am.) I have many times gone to management or to the personnel dept. to put in a good word for someone. Every time I am in the hospital, I make lists of people (name, position, department, shift, etc.) that I can think of something good to say about (which is almost everyone with whom I come i contact) and turn in my list when I leave, or mail it in later, with a request that these people receive some sort of commendation for commendable service. More than once I have seen people in service jobs reduced to tears by rude treatment from customers. After those customers leave, I always call them over or ask for them to be sent over, do my best to apologize for the rude behavior, & encourage them by telling them I think they are doing an excellent job under trying circumstances. I also always tip generously, & have taught my husband to do so, even if the service was not so hot, in hopes that it will encourage the ones giving good service & perhaps motivate those whose service is poor to do better.
