Are you tired
of doing the same old things?
...spending
time with the same people?
...hanging out
in the same places?
Do you ever
feel like your life is a bit redundant or stagnant? Maybe...IT
IS!
It's time to fix it. You are
stuck in what is called your Comfort Zone (CZ). The Comfort Zone
is an imaginary place that is full of all the things that you
have learned to do so well that you don't even have to think
about it. Things like breathing, walking, talking are in there.
So are things like playing video games, watching TV,
sending
text messages, browsing the internet...you can do all those
things without much effort...it's all terribly comfortable for
you. Now, those things aren't necessarily bad...but, if I told
you that from this point forward, you would have to spend the
rest of your life doing just the things that are already in your
comfort zone...what would you say?
Would that be a boring or
exciting way to live?
BORING! You know it's true. If
you just did the things you already know how to do, hung out
with only the people you already know, ate foods you have
already tried...it would all become very boring.
So, lets leave the CZ and head to
another place called the Learning Zone (LZ). The LZ is full of
all that stuff you've always wanted to try but were maybe a
little bit afraid to go out and do. It could be things like
skydiving, writing a poem, singing out loud, speaking in public,
fixing a relationship...there is so much out there. Now, these
things might be a bit scary...but, that's the point. You might
even have to get out there and make a mistake or two but at the
end of the day...it's all learning. That's how we grow and
that's how our lives stay interesting and fulfilling.
Get out of your CZ and start
spending some time every day in your LZ. You will be amazed how
much fun and learning will come your way! |
