Comfort level....The Seduction of the Familiar

Have you felt it before? The whisperings of dissent  turn into the incessant voice that says, "There has to be something more"  or "I know i am not living up to my potential" I need to get out of my comfort zone.

Every football or basketball player has an exercise called windsprints. Now these windsprints are designed to developed anaerobic endurance. That is the ability to function better under duress. If you have ever  hung on to you shorts and bent over gasping for air, or heaved your dinner  after going through them, well you know what i mean. They  are meant to get you out of your comfort zone. Why?

Because that is the only way that game time conditioning can be developed. Ask any serious coach on any level. When you are pulled out of your comfort zone it means that you have the ability to upgrade your life on some level by passing this test. 

Ever wonder how we can be easily seduced into thinking that everything is OK, but feel bored and restless? Im pretty sure you have.

Do you want to move out of your financial limits? take on a challenge and finish it.  Do you want to move up in your level of physical fitness, take on a challenge and hire a personal trainer. Stick with it!!  Do you want to take your business to a whole new level? Then be willing to take those extra steps, to go the extra mile, that marks the separate the men from the boys.          (  .“Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.”  you can choose to go back toward safey or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again: fear must be overcome again and again.!

Lets check back in a few days and see where you're to. Do you have an accountabiltiy partner? This usually spells the difference between success and failure. Do it, do it now!






~Abraham Maslow

Start doing one thing in each area of your life that pushes your comfort zone, this I promise you will start to change your life. This wont be huge changes, but incremental ones.

Ninety to ninety-five percent of people will withdraw to the comfort zone when what they try doesn't work. Only that small percentage, 5 or 10 percent, will continually improve themselves; they will continually push themselves out into the zone of discomfort, and these are always the highest performers in every field.
