For the decade -- I would say I have had a lot of personal growth. 10 years ago my anxiety (which I didn't even realize i had at the time) ruled most of what I did. I would not put myself in a situation that made me feel uncomfortable at all. I also was really against change when it came to work. This past decade and mainly the last 5 years I have stepped out of my comfort zone a lot. I refused to ever do presentation at work and thankfully had a boss that was ok with that and little by little he pushed me to do them. Starting with a few minutes here and there in a presentation to now I have done them fully on my own.
The biggest growth that I think I have had is going to the 2 conferences that I have gone to in the last 2 years. I have never in my life done anything on my own. Never lived alone, never went out to eat by myself or anything else. I was so nervous to go on my first trip by my self. Fly on a plane by myself and completely afraid to fly in general, stayed in a hotel by myself, and put myself out there to meet new people in my field. I liked it so much that I went back this year and was so exited to go. The plane though, that one I don't think I will get over. It still scares me to death to fly.
I think one thing that pushed me is my daughters anxiety. I wanted to show her that she can over come it. I will not say it was the easiest of decades with a lot of things but there was some good in their too.
For 2019 I am not sure. I think it was becoming a manager. Though I got the job in December of 2018, it did not start until January of 2019. This is something that I thought I would never do. I was very content with my job. I put myself out their for it, gave it my all and got it. There has been a lot of growth and some getting out of my comfort zone where I need to confront my employees with something. I have a great team now and can't wait for the next year.
