Yesterday I went to a friend’s party. One of the games I participated in I was supposed to do something funny. Some did it effortlessly, some did not and I did it while nervous at the same time.
So why am I telling you this? Because there’s a lesson in here I’d like to share with you.
Look, everyone has a comfort zone inside which they feel comfortable. But this zone must be expanded to reach the goals we previously thought impossible, right?
So there are two ways to expand your comfort zone. Imagine if your comfort zone is a circle around you, the imaginary comfort zone circle.
1. Either we can stay inside the circle and try to push its boundaries out to expand it.
2. Or we can step out of the circle and then drag the boundaries farther.
Which one them is them more effective? I think stepping out the comfort zone circle is more effective. Reason: When we are inside the circle, we’re not really sure where the boundaries are. We can only guess and make an assumption. More often we underestimate the location of boundaries and so we don’t make as much effort as needed for expansion to take place. Where as once we step out of the zone, we know where the boundaries are, where the limits are, so can accurately and effectively try to expand it.
In practical terms, it’s when we feel a little nervous, a bit hesitant, thats when we know we are outside our comfort zone. That’s the time to take action.
Just trying to play jujitsu with your mind!
It feels good to try to accomplish new things rather than just sitting at home and visualizing about accomplishment (as self help gurus say).
Anyways, that was just some food for thought. Hope you enjoyed.
