The discomfort zone. Have you ever felt this in a creative or technical sense? Before backing away, consider whether this discomfort alerts you to a place for growth. Discuss your experience in this area. What conditions allowed you to trust the situation?

Try something at the edge of your comfort zone that could bring you growth.

Escape and Inspiration
Cool off with inspiration and fun: Instead of holing up in our record heat wave at home, seek historical or artistic air-conditioned inspiration in a gallery or museum. Try a night walk. Cool off at a public pool, they're offering discounts, some free. Head for the mountains for a sunset picnic. Head to the library and look at art or dance books.
