The Comfort Zone
When we feel uncomfortable enough long enough, we tend to feel discouraged (a form of exhaustion), and we return to thoughts, feelings and actions that are more familiar, more practiced, more predictable – more comfortable
- The things we have done often enough to feel comfortable doing again.
- Whenever we do something new, it falls outside the barrier of the comfort zone
The Irony is that the feelings we have been taught to label “uncomfortable” are, in fact, among the very tools necessary to fulfill our dreams.

That tingling we feel when we contemplate waking up and living our dreams can be labeled either “fear” or “excitement.” No matter what we call it, it’s the same feeling.
- If we call it fear, it’s an uncomfortable feeling.
- If we call it excitement, we turn it into energy that makes the process of learning and doing an active, enjoyable one.
