A Little Exploration of Comfort Zone

Doodle Notes x 12 (well, 13, really)

Here we are, celebrating 12 years of Mira, wow!

I chose one of my favorite doodles for each year for you (except 2015, when I had to choose two...) and only considered digitally drawn doodles (except for one of the years...), because they represent the original idea—being just doodled up—the best.

Which one is your favorite?

"If I weren't afraid I would..."

What would you do?
Metaphorically

Doodle Notes 2015

"STRUGGLE = When the ego wants to keep me busy so that I don't follow my heart. ...Well, my heart has all the time in the Universe. She knows that all is well after all and anyway."

What if you stepped back and took a seat?
I bet the ego wouldn't like struggling all by itself...

"From this moment on: are you inevitably going towards what you want?"
- Marika Borg

"..Despite the struggle(s) you are facing?"

"Do I feel it deep inside?" Mira asked herself and took a moment... to breathe.

"Ha, ahem, of course" Mira gathered herself while the ego was just simply devastated bt Mira's change of mind.

Mira had realized that the struggle she had been in was less important than where she really wanted to be.

And POOF! The ego vanished!

If you really trust that all is well, you are filled with purpose to move forward.

Just trust!

Doodle Notes 2016

How to create a makeover but still love what you already do, be, and have?

In the morning, I stretch for what I want it to be like.

And in the evening I look around and feel grateful for all the beauty that is.

Doodle Notes 2017

How does it feel to be held by the Universe?

- We are one -

This doodle is one of my all-time favorites. When I look at it, it makes my inner child feel safe and comforted. The Universe has my back.

Doodle Notes 2018

My kinda fun is taking my pencil dancing!

This was a year that I didn't draw digitally at all—my pen was kept dancing all year long.

What is your kinda fun?

You are free to choose!

Even when the ego offers you new fascinating thoughts, it's okay to just ignore them...

Doodle Notes 2021

"It's YOU I want and not that ego stuff!" Mira exclaims and ditches the egos cardboard version of love...

What are you really after?

Doodle Notes 2022

When you let the world dictate your life, it goes full steam ahead without asking for your opinions (but weighing tons on your shoulders...).

But when you are in charge of your own life, you can take it at your pace!

And I think the world will enjoy that, too!

Who do you listen to?

"It's me I've been waiting for!" Mira declares.

Do not wait for the world to give you a permission, it's quite comfortable on your piggyback!

"I'll take this with that on the side, please," Mira makes her order and her heart confirms "That's an excellent choice!" as she takes the order.

Doodle Notes 2025

"It just keeps coming," Mira is fascinated by how love expands when it's shared.

"And there's so much more where that comes from!" her heart rejoices.

Doodle Notes 2026

This one I have already shared earlier this year, but it never grows old. How many are the times that I have caught myself being too serious, and then just doodled Mira laughing her heart out...

What makes you roll on the floor laughing?

Here are all the posts in a nutshell so it’s easy to find them whenever you want a reminder of the magic that is available outside your comfort zone.

  • The month started with a loving approach to Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone with the monthly doodle.
  • The monthly Doodle Story then dived deeper into the exploration of what happens when you Step Out of the Comfort Zone, and how to do it too.
  • And then day after that, out came a doodling/coloring exercise which helps to Take the Steps One at a Time and implementing the change into your own life.
  • Then yet on the last Monday of the month I shared a sneak peek behind the scenes and what’s been going on with my art for all the tiers... This month I concentrated on creating my spring coloring pictures for children and included an Easter coloring picture for you to download and color too! And the sneak peek happened to be posted on Mira’s SEVENTH birthday too! Seven years already! Wow!
