IT must be one of the biggest obstacles faced by anyone looking to make a substantial and lasting change, aimed at making their life better.
The dreaded ‘Comfort Zone’. Was there ever anything more inappropriately named?
For most of us, there’s very little comfort at all. Maybe they should call it the ‘Frustration Zone’, the ‘Irritation Zone’ or the ‘Zone of Complete Helplessness’!
OK, maybe it’s not that bad....
But if you’ve ever tried to make a significant change in your life – especially if it involves abandoning something/someone you’re accustomed to, or facing a real fear – you’ll know how tough it can be.
Happily there are smart folk around to offer good, solid advice, like ‘Chicken Soup For The Soul’ co-author and motivational speaker, Jack Canfield.
In this brief yet hugely helpful video, he looks at the reasons why we get ‘stuck’ (and yes, it’s pretty much our own doing, as much as we’d like to blame others!) and how this feeling gets reinforced.
He also offers very practical steps for moving forward, which – thankfully – doesn’t mean making huge leaps forward straight away.
One of these involves, ‘Leaning into it’, which he illustrates through the personal story of a Hollywood big hitter. It’s well worth a look. Check it out.
