I didn’t notice what day it was and can’t remember what time it was…all I noticed was a teacher instructing the classroom about comfort zones. As she spoke, I became increasingly uncomfortable. It had to have been middle school and the teacher spent most of the time lecturing about the journey outside of your comfortable area. I believe there was a chart with circles warmly encompassing comfort and stark white paper left to define everything beyond the circle.
Why not define comfort zones by the opportunity that lies in the land beyond the warm circle? Stepping outside your comfort zone doesn’t feel uncomfortable when it’s doing you good. How about,”doing something everyday that you’ve not done before” rather than “something everyday that scares you”?
