Crush Your Comfort Zone
Crush Your Comfort Zone and Become Who You Are Meant to Be.
Get out of your comfort zone and start living to the fullest
Many of us think of the “comfort zone” as a relic of ’80s motivational psychology or a tagline on cheesy corporate “reach for success” posters.
The comfort zone is a useful psychological concept that can help you embrace risk and make changes in your life that can lead to real personal growth.
The comfort zone is a “behavioral space where your activities and behaviors fit a routine and pattern that minimizes stress and risk” – the operative words here being stress and risk.
In our comfort zone, there is a sense of familiarity, security, and certainty.
When we step outside our comfort zone, we take a risk, and open ourselves up to the possibility of stress and anxiety; we’re not quite sure what will happen and how we will react.
We have come to see stress as a dirty word – but a little bit of healthy stress can act as a reagent for growth and be a powerful motivator to act.
While staying in your comfort zone can result in a consistent, steady performance, stepping out of your comfort zone into a new and challenging task can create the conditions for optimal performance.
Think about it: Did you ever do something you were proud of when you were in autopilot mode?
In an increasingly competitive, cautious, and accelerated world, those who are willing to take risks step out of their comfort zone and into the discomfort of uncertainty will be those who will reap the biggest rewards.
Stepping out of your comfort zone even once makes it easier and more likely that you will do it again (and again!).
Today I want to send you a simple message; step out of your comfort zone and own it.
Do one thing that you don’t feel like doing or that scares you.
Make that call, smile, or say good morning to someone when you are too busy, find something you are simply avoiding, and do it.
To help you with this concept, I have a cool book for you to look at.
It is a growth mindset personal development book for those who are ready to achieve and brave enough to push out of their comfort zone.
