To grow personally, you must get out of your Comfort Zone…(a.k.a. our self created prison) where we are “comfortable” in what we’re doing; in our jobs, our lives, and our experiences. It’s when we have no feelings of risk or anxiety. The downside is there’s no personal or professional growth in “the prison”. It is what it is…
Everyone has their own personal comfort zone. We all have built-in mechanisms that regulate our level of anxiety, fear, and discomfort. When we step outside our normal, existing boundaries, we begin to feel anxious. Our natural tendency is to pull back and go back to “the norm”.
