Did you know that your favorite company has a chairperson?
Hhhhmmmmmm….
Even the one that you created with your own hands…
Strange, interesting and funny, right?

The same goes to your comfort zone
I wanted to relate the two, using the example of a chairperson
For both of them to exist legally or in somewhat kind of that nature, there has to be a board of some sorts, right?
One that will be headed and steered in the forward direction by a chairperson….

But let’s stick to the comfort zone
Your own comfort zone, that is
Howzit like?

Is it one where you fall back after everything has taken place in a day?
Is it the one where you do the chilling after a great victory?
Or is it the one where you prefer to keep safe and inbounds?

Do you consider it to be a good zone for you?
Do you find it very dangerous for you, at times?
Do you find yourself lagging behind on your own commitments simply because of pledging allegiance to the zone?
Were you forced to live in this zone?
Were you forced to relocate here?
Was it life….your friends….those people you admire and look up to?
Or did you just want a change for yourself and you decided to go after it?

Let’s share stories on this….
If you ask me, though, I will tell you one solid truth
The zone is having you, as one of its chief residents
If not, its chiefest resident, if I may use that word that way
And that, this zone can still exist when you decide to relocate to another
Even when the time comes for you to actually move to another zone, it shall remain there

With each and every day that you wake up, pause for a second after your eyes have adjusted to the light
Ask yourself what you have planned in stock and line, for your zone
To either make it better or worse for you now or in the future

Having done that, look around you
You might want to use some relatable examples of other people like you that have been residing in this same zone or a very similar one
Are they doing better than you are? Do you feel inclined to improve on your situation thereafter?
Or not?
Are you doing better than they are, dear chairperson?
If yes, say this to them, SLOWLY, “my zone of stay is comfort and I’m it’s chairperson”!
I am the chairperson of my life. I’m in control of my life!
Hehe….definitely, Damian!
This very insightful and really made me think! This is something everyone should think about from time to time. I’d like to say I control my life as well! Haha
Aaaaahhhhhh….indeed, Conchita! I’m very glad to hear that.
I am at my comfort zone right now. Sometimes, I feel kinda unnerved, to expect the unexpected.
Aaaaahhhhhhhh…alright, Sigrid! If you say so….thank you for sharing. ??
I am definitely not in my comfort zone right now and clearly it is uncomfortable. But at this stage in my life it is necessary. I was becoming restless and reckless in my safe space and I needed to break out. It hasn’t been easy and there has been a lot of tears and anxiety but I’m getting through it. Every day is a new lesson.
Aaaawwwwwww….alright, Ambar! That’s good to know. Keep spreading your wings and net further and before you know it, it will all be soooo much better.
A big hug for you.
I do love my comfort zone, that’s for sure. But sometimes I know I need to branch out and experience new things that might make me uncomfortable. I’m usually always glad I did!
Aaaaahhhhhhh…alright Amber. If you say so…..thank you for sharing!
I have a horrible habit of being too afraid to leave my comfort zone. My friends tell me all the time that I really need to step out more.
Aaaawwwwww…I highly agree with them, Jessica! You should step out….at least, once in a while.
I’ve never thought of it in this way but is really food for thought now. It’s high time I be the chairperson and stop slacking.
Hehe….indeed, Joan! ??
I never looked at this way.. What a cool train of thought to have.
I try to stay in my comfort, but most times my job keeps me out of it.
Aaahhhhhh. …thank you, James. It’s good to hear that.
being in control is not really my thing but being responsible is what i want to master! and this is surely something to think about!
Hhhhhhmmmmmmm….alright, Patricia! If you say so. ??
This blog post had me think. When I moved to the other side of the world in a country I did not speak the language, I definitely left my comfort zone and it was the beginning of never getting back into it!
Aaaahhhhh….wow, it sounds like it’s what you really needed! I believe you, Corinna, live a much more fulfilling life than ever before. Thank you for sharing! ??
can’t agree more. Only you can control your life, no one else .
Aaaaahhhhhh….indeed, Minakshi! Thank you for sharing.
I love my comfortzone, going out of it is just so scary, but I sure do try!
Aaaawwwww….that’s nice to know! You know, the best way to beat your fears, is to face them!
So true!
??
There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a comfort zone. It is important that we know that it’s ok!
Aaaahhhh….indeed! Don’t misuse it, though.
You really put things in perspective. We love pushing ourselves outside our comfort zones at times. Life is an adventure.
Aaaaahhhhhh….thank you for appreciating. ?? indeed, it is!
This is a really interesting look on it. I have to admit I am firmly sat in my chair in my comfort zone most of the time.
Aaaaahhhhhh…..hehe, alright Sarah. If you say so…..just don’t get too comfy, okay? ??
Sometimes your comfort zone is actually holding you back. I’ve learned that years ago. It’s important to step out of it from time to time.
Aaaaaahhhhh….that’s good to know, Dana! ?
My zone of stay is comfort and I’m it’s chairperson. 🙂 I love my comfort zone and I rarely get out of it. I like to try new food if that counts as stepping outside, but that’s kinda it.
Haha….of course, it counts. It’s the small actions or pieces of them, that we take, that matter, count and make the difference, Cristina. ? thanks for sharing.
This really made me think of things differently! I am a lover of my comfort zone, although it is very complicated. Thanks for sharing.
Aaaawwwww….you’re welcome, Michelle. I’m very glad to hear this!
There is a lot to mill over here. I had never really thought about my comfort zone before or whether I was put there or chose to be there for whatever reason. But certainly I could use knowing where I am at and what change I will need to make to get where I want to be.
Aaaaahhhhhh….that’s a good idea! ??
Thank you.
My comfort zone is web development, talking to and listening to my clients because I’ve doing this for years. Blogging and marketing is stepping a bit out of it, but good for my business growth.
Aaaaahhhhhhh….that’s very nice to hear, Alessandra! Do you think you can make it well enough outside this circle? ?
Thought provoking piece. Its like that quote: everybody is self made but only successful people will admit it.
?? thank you, Shanab! ?❤️?
This is so interesting…
Hehe….I’m glad you appreciated! ?❤️?✊?
My comfort zone is being a Virtual Assistant, but only because I made it that way. I think there’s something to be said for finding what you’re good at and what makes you happy. You also have to work for it, though.
👏👏👏
This is an interesting take on the idea of the comfort zone. So many people say you have to get out of your comfort zone to grow. That’s right in a way, but there’s also the comfort of finding what you’re good at and what makes you happy. That’s the zone to stay in.
👏👏👏
Such an interesting view about comfort zones! I do find it helpful to talk to people who have no problems with certain things in the comfort zone, which helps me widen my comfort zone. We definitely are our own chairperson, as you put it!
😍😍
I am a chairperson of my own life and enjoying my comfort zone but I guess even though you are comfortable you still need to strive to do something for your own growth.
👏👏
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. This quote makes more sense once you understand what your comfort zone really is and look at what comes when you begin to make changes in your life.
😍😍 it really does!
Now, this is something we need to think about more. But I do agree with you on us being the only ones to control our lives.
😍😍 indeed!
I am in comfort zone right now. I always get nervous about something you shouldn’t go through with it.
😍😍
Developing an autoimmune disease and being sick as a young adult truly inspired me to value balance and see importance of rest and comfort. My comfort zone is a safe and healing space I can go to when I need it and I always know it’s there. I think we all deserve as much :). Thank you for sharing and making us think deeply about something so important!
👏👏 you’re welcome, Sara!
This is an interesting read. I am in my comfort zone right now but the situation around me isn’t comfortable. But I guess dealing with such situations is called life!
😍😍 indeed!
I stayed in my “safe zone” for many, many years. But it wasn’t safe. It was comfortable because I was afraid of change. Two years ago, I left that zone with the help of counselors, loved ones, and family. And now I am in control. And the change has been awesome. Everyone who knows me says I am a totally different person! So for anyone who doesn’t want to leave their “comfort zone” because of fear, know that you are not in a good place and need to look outward, for support and change!
😍😍 thank you, Marie!!!
I always want to leave my comfort zone. In fact, I think I am doing it a lot! Your post definitely gives a fresh perspective and it is really inspiring to take this leap. Keep on posting stuff like this!
😍😍 I will.
