The Comfort Trap
The comfort zone can be alluring and comfortable, however staying within your comfort zone comes with many limitations. Join Neil today as how you can flourish, so long as you escape the comfort trap. Discover how you can be an example of possibility to your students, how to escape your comfort zone and why you should not waste your energy on menial things.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The comfort zone is popular and alluring. However, it is distracting and impoverishing. Staying in your comfort zone will do nothing for you, it doesn’t serve you and it removes all possibility of doing something new, interesting and surprising.
- Don’t buy it, don’t waste your precious energy on the trivia of homes, cars and TV. These are the things that will pull you away from new challenges.
- We’ve been fed this idea that sitting back and chilling out is The Dream and that we should aspire to be pampered and live an “easy life”. You need a reason to get out of bed in the morning, to square up to life and say “bring it on, I’ve got this!”. Can you Imagine a life of ease and comfort, a life without challenge or risk and , as a result , devoid of growth and fulfilment?
- You’re there to teach and help your students and clients, and the very best way to do that is to be an example of possibility. And that example is individual and unique to each one of us, to every member of our Tribes. Within your fields, you are the leaders of our tribes.
- If you find yourself in the comfort trap, do something about it. Get out of your comfort zone and go do something that makes you feel a little bit anxious. Sign up for a challenge, step away from the TV and do something, pick up your guitar, do anything that moves you in the right direction.
BEST MOMENTS
“it isn’t about the money: it’s about The Challenge and staying out of my comfort zone.”
“Gimme a challenge, tell me I can’t do something and I’ll prove you wrong.”
“If a lot of people do something, that doesn’t make it right.”
