This dampens<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>our unique perspectives and overall potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The anxiety levels surging through our bodies mark our comfort zones in very clear and real ways that cannot be seen.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Comfort zones are as unique and individual as, well\u2026individuals.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Psychologists actually define a comfort zone as an artificial mental boundary (key word being \u2018artificial\u2019).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>A comfort zone is a circumstance, situation, or environment in which one feels at ease, safe, empowered, and relaxed.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It could essentially be viewed as familiar territory to an individual, whether that be habits or surroundings that conform to the expectations of the individual\u2019s neurological system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/meditation-2262835_640.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\"

damaging \u2013 mentally and physically \u2013 to bombard oneself with constant stress over prolonged periods.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>We all need familiarity, stability, and routine in our lives.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>But too much comfort can breed laziness, zap our drive, and leave us lacking something.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>But at what point does comfort and familiarity go from being healthy and normal to being the very definition of dull, sloth, and a limitation on our development?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">A life lacking in growth and challenge is fun for a while \u2013 such as while you are on holiday \u2013 but we are not designed for such sedentary lifestyles.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Too much contentment does to our mental state what atrophy does to an unused muscle.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It weakens it to the point of being unable to function as it was meant to.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>A Drag on Productivity<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Too much comfort kills productivity because unless one is a true outlier, we often find ourselves doing the minimum to get by.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This leads to regret and missed opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>In this state of \u2018contentment\u2019 it is a challenge to be highly productive and make a real improvement .<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Hidden In Plain Sight<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Fortunately there is a little self-improvement secret about pushing your limits that often goes unmentioned: the more you do it, the easier it becomes to face the unknown.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Practice increases competence, and eventually challenging yourself and facing your fears can be extremely liberating and even habit forming!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The self-esteem boost that one acquires from taking some part of their life or skillset to the next level is euphoria inducing and leads to happiness and overall feelings of well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">But it takes a lot of courage to break out of your comfort zone \u2013 so although it sounds like a nice thing to do, how should I go about doing it?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>First, let\u2019s motivate ourselves!<span

just this very task.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Our thoughts have tremendous power.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Psychologists and cutting edge neuroscientists nearly unanimously agree that what you tell yourself and focus on largely determines your outcome in life and the person you are and will become.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Accept that all limitations are self-imposed.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Even if that is not necessarily the case, at the very least it will help you take responsibility for all areas of your life. This is the first step of many spiritual traditions and it is no wonder that it is also the first step to believing in yourself and allowing yourself to believe that things can change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>What Next?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The second step is to decide what you want to accomplish.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Build a business, become an accomplished guitarist?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Learn a foreign language or learn to code?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Get in great shape?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The possibilities are endless and only you can decide, and chances are if you are reading this now you already know what it is that is nagging at you \u2013 so deciding what you are going to accomplish is probably the easy part!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Now comes the fun part: accepting the challenge!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>People don\u2019t accomplish worthwhile achievements when they are enjoying the highlife or riding on easy street.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Let\u2019s start with a little self-observation.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Notice how much time you spend inside of your comfort zone.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Ask yourself when the last time you really challenged yourself was.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Do not be afraid of anxiety \u2013 embrace it because it is an emotion that is incredibly easy to harness into increased performance. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>The Journey of 1,000 Miles Begins With a Single Step<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/steps-1081909_640.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Start something of significance and do something that matters by starting slow.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Setting goals that allow you to only minimally leave your comfort zone creates an environment and experience that is not so unpleasant that you fall back into complacency.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Rather, it creates momentum and allow you to view<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>yourself as someone that accepts challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Don\u2019t look at challenges in a negative light.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Take an honest assessment of yourself and recognize what\u2019s holding you back and work towards realigning whatever that thing may be.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>When doing something new, there will always be some discomfort associated, but over time you will learn to open to, and even eventually embrace the experience as you push yourself to achieve new goals.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This is basically synonymous with recalibrating your reality!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Mix It Up!<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">A general tip for busting out of the same old routine that breeds familiarity is to actually change your daily routine.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Do a little thing that you normally wouldn\u2019t do.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Just let something pop into your mind.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>For me it would be to volunteer at a soup kitchen or take a yoga class in a different part of town that I don\u2019t often visit.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>We\u2019re creatures of habit and changing our habits or daily rituals in a small way is the first step to opening yourself up to new experiences.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Start by stretching your personal boundaries in small ways and eventually you will become much more flexible overall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">After you have made little changes and taken a few small steps towards your larger \u2018something that matters\u2019 goal, you need to shake the fear of failure.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Most of what we do fails, but fortunately everyone notices the time that you succeed.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you go at a slow and steady pace and incrementally improve, you will be simply stacking little success upon little success until it piles up into a big success, and then people will really take notice \u2013 not only at your accomplishments but by the person you will have undoubtedly morphed into.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Author <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/James_Altucher\">James Altucher<\/a> says he simply tries to improve 1% everyday.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Over the course of a year, this amounts to a tremendous improvement if one is consistent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Train Your Brain to Enjoy the Pain!<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When it comes to lifting weights and bodybuilding, we cannot expect to grow while we restrict ourselves to the same old routine.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>What this means is that the body adapts to whatever stimulus it has been given after a while.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Eventually it needs a new stimulus if it is to continue growing and developing in new directions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>A wise man once said (I think it was Tony Robbins) \u2018With challenge comes growth.\u2019<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you deprive yourself of the opportunity to grow then you are essentially limiting your happiness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/strength-1148029_640.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Create the conditions necessary for a small change or a drastic transformation \u2013 only you possess the answer to what you need.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The road to self-actualization will be paved with many mini-improvements, and expanded comfort zone boundaries.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Find the sweet spot to your happiness and self-actualization.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Once you\u2019ve taken your life to the next level, you will look back and truly have knowledge that what formerly appeared to be impossible was just an illusion.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It was nothing more than a self-imposed limitation. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Hone Your Focus With the Power of Belief<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"> It is estimated the brain receives approximately 2 million bits of information per second, whereas it only has the capability to process 2,000 bits of information per second.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Our current state of being, including our accomplishments and failures as individuals, is almost entirely a direct result of our beliefs, which guide our brain and direct its focus.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Since processing all 2,000,000 bits of information per second is a physical limitation, beliefs are what guide our focus and tell our brain what 2,000 bits of information to take in as the most relevant information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a

bodybuilder changes up his workout routine in order to stimulate his or her muscles in a new, different, and challenging way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>With challenge comes growth!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Just like the dedicated bodybuilder grows to love the burn of a fierce workout and the muscle pump that immediately follows, so too do we all possess the capacity to love the process of expanding our horizons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">If you can implement new behaviours at a slow pace and with consistency, you will naturally learn to enjoy the process.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It goes without saying that focusing on enjoying the process ie the immediate tasks at hand is what will carry you through the long haul.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Visualizing the greater outcome is a great thing to do, but please don\u2019t forget to chunk down and actually like what you are doing.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Focus on the immediate task to the exclusion of all fear and distraction\u2026and if you keep getting distracted by social
