You want to make a change.
BUT.
Right before you take the actions that will set that change in motion, your comfort zone SHOCKS you like an electric fence does to a dog.
Instead of a small zap around your neck, your comfort zone uses other tools.
Fear. What if it doesn't work?
Anxiety. There’s no guarantee behind this. It’s too risky. Am I making a mistake?
Worry. What if I lose my money / waste my time / never achieve my goal?
What-If. (Every possible negative consequence you can think of.)
Compromise with the status quo. Well, the current situation isn't really that bad. Maybe I can live with it for a bit longer.
Your comfort zone’s job is to keep you inside of it.
Doing the same stuff. Thinking the same way. Comfortable, yet underachieving and underperforming.
Any time you threaten to exit the comfort zone, it throws the kitchen sink at you in the form of the above stressors.
And your comfort zone knows you very well. It’s a strategic enemy.
It knows what you fear the most. That’s the one it hits you hardest with.
It knows your weak spots. That's where it attacks you.
Your comfort zone is a possessive lover. It is proprietary. You are your comfort zone’s property and it will not tolerate you leaving it for anyone or anything else.
And it will use every trick in the book to keep you as its slave.
Most people think that the key to getting where you want to go from where you currently are is some form of strategy, how-to, or instruction. If someone will just tell you HOW to do something, every problem will be solved.
False.
The key to getting where you want to go is doing things that, for the most part, you already know about.
You know what they are.
You have a close enough idea of how to do them.
And you know what it would take to execute.
But, doing any of those things would cause your comfort zone to sound the alarm.
Fear.
Worry.
Anxiety.
Your discomfort with those energies are what keeps you in the same place.
You’re not lacking knowledge. Knowledge is free on Google and ChatGPT.
To defeat your comfort zone, you need courage — not confidence.
Confidence calls on your past experience.
Courage moves you boldly towards your future experience.
Confidence is about where you’ve been.
Courage is about where you’re going.
Are you going somewhere?
Or, is the electric fence blocking you?
