I know, for me, the longer I was in my comfort zone the harder time I had to step outside of it. To safely and independently leave my comfort zone, I use my power chair. Until I got used to being outside of my 4 walls, I was petrified. Now, as long as the weather permits, I'm free!!!! and loving it!!!!! Thank you for your insight.
