Have you ever made a decision that made you uncomfortable? Something for the ‘greater good’ that was out of your comfort zone? If you have, then you would know that pushing past those boundaries of comfort ultimately brings out the best in you.If you haven’t then I really suggest you do.

COMFORT ZONE

It’s the point of time where you apply what you have learnt and work towards success.

The Performance Zone

Stepping out of your comfort zone makes you feel vulnerable, it gives you anxiety and stress. But this can work in your favour if you let it. It improves your performance and can push you towards success. Moving out of the comfort zone is necessary to rise above and reach greatness, the comfort may make you feel safe and pleasant, but that doesn’t make it good for you. Infact, if you don’t push past this comfort zone, it’s going to get smaller. Remember that the more we stick with what is familiar, the more we’re going to be afraid of moving to the unfamiliar.

Why should you step out of your comfort zone?

Behind the walls of comfort lies the unknown that brings out the most valuable lessons.

Without having the uncomfortable feeling of deadlines and targets, we cannot push ourselves to do the best of our abilities. We tend to go the bare minimum of what is required of us and often fall into the ‘work trap’ which is basically just telling yourself you’re ‘busy’ to avoid stepping out of the comfort zone and trying new things.

The Work Trap

Step 1) Identify the thing that is most important to you, the thing that you want to move ahead with .Step 2) Take the decision to start working on it. Step 3) Build your courage. Step 4) Follow this consistently with a positive mindset.

How to step out of the comfort zone? 

We’re all afraid of new experiences and situations, especially uncomfortable situations that are out of our comfort zone and it’s completely normal. The way we react to these situations and experiences reflects on how we will live our life.Try to live out these experiences with confidence and belief in yourself instead of stress and anxiety.

Final words... 

It’s the period of time we spend learning – it doesn’t need to be academic knowledge, ot could even be the time you teach yourself a certain skill or even absorbing the things that you learn on an everyday basis that helps you improve. This is a zone that you should be in all the time, not just on the path to success but even after getting to success.

The Learning Zone

A comfort zone isn’t necessarily a place, it’s a habit, a habit of avoiding uncomfortable situations or new things and risks. It’s a safe mental space where your work, behavior, thoughts and actions fit a routine and pattern, which minimises stress and anxiety. This safe space gives a sense of mental security.Comfort zone doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. It’s a state that people generally tend to move towards.
