How often do you venture into your discomfort zone?

When was the last time you pushed yourself to do something that would help you change or grow?

If it’s been a while then you’re not alone since the majority of people live well within their comfort zone. Your comfort zone is like a padded cell, it’s designed by you to keep you safe, but it’s still a cell that keeps you confined to who you are.

The unfortunate truth about discomfort is that if you’re not willing to endure it then you’ll never pursue or complete anything new you set out to do. While this might sound a little harsh, it’s the truth. If you’re looking for evidence then just go back through your life and find your unfinished projects or dreams you didn’t pursue, sure there were ones where you changed your mind, but what about the ones you gave up on because they required you to leave your comfort zone?

If your seeking any permanent change in your life then your discomfort zone is a hurdle you must be willing to cross and tolerate, if you don’t then the gravity of your current self will force you back to who you currently are.

Learning to live with discomfort when you know it will benefit you, in the long run, is a superpower. It’s a skill that will allow you to accomplish more than you think is possible. The least you can do is dip your toe into your discomfort zone for a while and see what happens, if you find it doesn’t work for you then no worries, your padded comfort zone will always be there waiting for you.
