Where To Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone?

Every iron is called upon to leave the comfort zone, but what should be considered this very zone? In my opinion, such an expression can be called a situation when a person has a very large POPA in life, but for some reason he does not change anything. Yes, it also happens. And the point is not even fear, but the fact that a person simply does not know where to leave this zone. After all, the way out of the usual state (comfort zone) is a change. And people are somehow afraid of change.

The fear of change is, first of all, the fear of the unknown. Some of the consequences of change can be modeled. There will be such and such, but not this. But these are only ideas about a positive or negative result. Often this is not enough to start changing something. And, accordingly, it cannot become a driving force (motivation) for changes.

Any situation or event in our life not only has a practical component (divorce, dismissal from work), people often forget about the feelings and internal states that we have at the same time. Moreover, attention should be paid not to the momentary reaction (Great! Not to see the boss's boor anymore. Or: I am not obliged to listen to her reproaches). We are quite able to determine what feelings we will have later, when the euphoria goes away.

This can stop someone, but only if such feelings are not at all to their liking. When feelings are liked, especially if they are nourished, they can help to ensure that the person's condition becomes consistently positive, and there are fewer negative experiences. That is, the new state does not imply regret that changes have taken place.

We have one great feature that, in my opinion, can help if you decide to step out of your comfort zone. It's about the zone of proximal development. It is your development. After all, it is not at all necessary to break away from work and go nowhere. And getting a divorce in a state of emotional arousal is hardly a good idea.

But think about what changes can help you to develop (qualities, feelings, skills). After all, our development is perhaps the most important thing in life. Then it turns out that you should not leave some comfort zone, but, on the contrary, strive to where you have the opportunity to develop and grow. In many ways, this is a matter of meaning. Meaning is what fills your life from the inside, what drives you through life. Remember Viktor Frankl, because his story is just about the meaning.

External factors are only possible additions, material manifestations often confirm the internal content. After all, by and large, the comfort zone is just a set of certain rules for a person's relationship to himself, while they (rules) largely determine the attitude of those around you, in all areas. So, if you decide to leave your comfort zone, then it is more useful to do it in the direction of your development.

Live with joy!
