The comfort zone is a behavioural state within which a person operates in an anxiety-neutral condition, using a limited set of behaviours to deliver a steady level of performance, usually without a sense of risk.

A comfort zone is a type of mental conditioning that causes a person to create and operate mental boundaries. Such boundaries create an unfounded sense of security. Like inertia, a person who has established a comfort zone in a particular axis of his or her life, will tend to stay within that zone without stepping outside of it. To step outside their comfort zone, a person must experiment with new and different behaviours, and then experience the new and different responses that occur within their environment.

Ok, now we know what Comfort Zone is, but how CAN we break out from it ?





Nobody was born with an instruction manual of life, everything we know was learned from school, parents, elders, but their advices was good ( or not ) applying to them, was it good for you? I believe not, othewise you where out from Comfort Zone.





Each of us must make our own way in the world, having the life we dreamed about, doing the best we can because we do CAN. Maybe you won't succeed from the first trying, maybe you will mess things up a few times but isn't a big deal. Important thing is to try, learn from your mistakes and you will succeed.





You should not be affraid of changing, most people quit before they do something, asking ' how to do it ? I'm lazy to learn something new, I'm fine the way I am ( lazy and fat ) but I want to have everything, money, love, sex ( I'm sure one day a woman will knock on your door asking if you wanna have sex ).





Do you know what homeostasis is ? is the property if a system that regulates its internal environment and tends to maintain a stable, relatively constant condition of properties such as temperature.





So, if your body gets used to a life style that will be your homeostasis and in that state you will feel yourself . Anything else you will do your homeostasis will tell that you're not yourself.

If you are too lazy for months, loosing time on tv, games.. I'm sure you'll feel ' yourself '.





“The further you get away from yourself, the more challenging it is. Not to be in your comfort zone is great fun.” - Benedict Cumberbatch





Aren't you bored ? or boring ? Get out and do something for your boring life!





So, learn, do new things constantly thinking about things you want, how ( who ) do you wanna be, forget the fear that you won't feel 'yourself' ( that's homeostasis - not letting you do new things and that ' who you are ' to become better. )





The evolution and transformation have a large dose of pain, if you won't pay the price, you'll get left behind.





Thank you for reading.





Please leave a comment and tell me how you will get out from The Comfort Zone.
