You don’t ever have to go out of your comfort zone…
You don’t have to go outside your comfort zone!! š
I visited my physiotherapist the other day.
A physiotherapist keeps applying pressure on the muscle in pain and stops when it gets uncomfortable for you.
If they feel it’s just a little too much, they will back off immediately!
They must back off otherwise they’re doing more harm than good!
Then they wait until the pain goes away and they apply a little bit more pressure.
Again, as much as you can take.
Practising this again and again makes the muscle less tense, the blood circulation is increased in the affected area, they can wron deeper and deeper and slowly, the pain goes away.
A psychotherapist operates entirely within your comfort zone throughout the whole process.
The same with yoga.
Your yoga instructor says that if it’s too much of a stretch, relax, stay there, breathe out, then move into the pose a little bit more if you can. Otherwise stay there.
And when you go back next time all of sudden you see that you can stretch more and more!
You can grow by operating totally within your comfort zone.
When I work with people I look to get results while they operate within their comfort zone.
And when we do that we see that their comfort zone expands!
Walking 500 steps or going around the block is progress for someone who only moves from the kitchen to the bathroom.
If you don’t want to do video, you can write articles and still build phenomenal awareness for your business.
If you’re an introvert, you can still build a successful coaching business without going to every meetup event in your area.
I’m not saying don’t try stuff that challenges you, I’m not saying don’t face your fears, I’m not saying don’t do the extra mile.
All I’m saying is if going outside your comfort zone never worked for you, you can still have results by operating within your comfort zone.
And see your comfort zone expand gradually.
All it takes is creativity and full exploration of your comfort zone!
