What's Your Comfort Zone?
As humans, we love the familiarity of our routines. We often resist change because it’s scary and an unknown. We like things the way we like them - why change? But as we know deep down, the only constant is change.
Psychologists define Comfort Zone as “a state in which things feel familiar to a person, and they are at ease, and in control of their environment, experiencing low levels of anxiety and stress. In this zone, a steady level of performance is possible.” I like my comfort zone and I’m sure you do too. The pandemic, however, has pretty much thrown all of us out of our comfort zone.
So this is an opportunity to question the things that we believe, to try things that scare us, to learn to deal with uncertainty and to become comfortable with the concept of uncomfortability.
