Click Here to be Part of the Family - We live in a continuous situation of comfort and out zone. Let's give some examples: When you know that, you have to get out of bed, the alarm goes off and you just can't get up ...
Or for a child who is scolded by his mother because, if not, he has to go to bed.
When we are forced to do something we don't like but we have to do it anyway…. 
When we have to take an exam and we are not prepared enough ...
When you have to ask the employer to raise your wages …

We live in a continuous situation of comfort and out zone, since we were children .. This is why we need to be disciplined enough to easily get out of the comfort situation ...

The problem with the comfort zone is that everything stays flat, the learning curve is a fragile twig, When we are in the comfort zone, we are very calm and relaxed but we lack the stimulus and friction necessary to give the best of ourselves .

Going a little backwards: You will be able to go out and consequently enlarge the comfort situation easily if, by going out, you reach the set goal related to your passion ... if even this passion leads you to obsession, which is obviously a positive obsession, then you don´t even need to be disciplined . I mean, if you are obsessed with having a great body to show off on the beach I can assure you that the discipline sector is naturalized with your passion… You don´t need to put effort in discipline.. goes naturally.

When, on the other hand, there is not passion in what you are doing, the speech is a little different… in that case you have to find the mother value that leads you to be disciplined. the most striking example is military education .. there is an indoctrination and an education by the army that lead the soldier to love the homeland, this love leads the military to be the most disciplined people of this world, easily getting out of the comfort situation.

Another example is driving, learning to drive is not everyone's passion and yet almost everyone has a driving license.
In any case, a stressful situation is reached such as to learn new skills, widening the learning curve, and consequently widening our comfort zone.

Another thing that helps people to get out of the comfort zone is the repetition factor… The routine. Repeating exactly the same actions every day brings you to a natural state that makes those actions part of your daily life.

Therefore, our comfort zone can change to learning zone, to panic zone slowly or quickly, obviously depending on the case. If the professor calls you to explain a theorem that you have not studied, obviously there is no learning zone, or rather, the learning zone is activated once you are with your professor .. so you will try to squeeze your brains out to understand the theorem, going backwards.

Now I want to talk about a topic that is close to my heart: when the learning zone, become a comfort zone and lead you into a flat situation if the work is a job that does not require continuous learning. In this case, the curve has a peak, because you have to learn certain skills anyway, but this peak stabilizes in a horizontal line. 

So, to all people who do such jobs, I really recommend broadening your horizons, which doesn't necessarily mean changing jobs if you really like it. But don't fossilize. You have the right to ask for a raise, you have the right to compete for something bigger within the company. Get out of your comfort zone .. because a fossil is not happy.
