About

The comfort zone, as defined by the Cambridge Dictionary means “a situation in which you feel comfortable and in which your ability and determination are not being tested.” You feel relaxed and calm in your comfort zone.

We often don’t get out of our comfort zone unless we’re forced into a new situation, like a promotion at your job that causes you to speak in front of others or you’re forced to face new situations because of health issues.

The truth is most of us won’t step out of our comfort zones, even for a small step, unless we’re forced. But did you know that by staying in our comfort zone, we are keeping ourselves from growing, both personally and professionally.

In fact, when you step out of your comfort zone you are inspired to do it more often. This “facing your fear” helps you grow more confident in your abilities.
