The Clinical Death of Your Personality

It's Called Comfort Zone

The comfort zone is that physical, mental, and emotional state in which you feel relaxed, safe, which does not arouse strong emotions and does not create problems.

Sounds good, sounds like this is the ideal in life. It's just that not everything that sounds good is really good for our lives.

You may feel relaxed in your comfort zone, safe and hassle-free, but let me tell you, there is still a problem, a big one.

The big problem is that you don't evolve, you don't solve the problems you have, you don't meet new people. You have no new experiences, no intense experiences, no fulfilled dreams. You don't develop your personality, you don't even highlight the one you have.

No one sees what a wonderful woman you are, what your abilities are. Nobody knows what you think, what your passions are, what you would like to do.

Nobody, not even you. It's like being in a deep, long sleep. Unintentionally, you are in a clinical death of your personality.

The comfort zone keeps you paralyzed in a state that gives you a false illusion of security, peace, and happiness.

Why fake?

At some point, no matter how comfortable your life may be, you will get bored of it. You will want to do new things, things that others do.

When you realize how many beautiful things are happening to people who are constantly coming out of their comfort zone, you will regret that you did not do the same. You will realize that you have wasted your life protecting a false zone of security, peace, and happiness. You will want the world to know you as you are.

You'll want to say, "Hey, I want to do this, too," "I like to do that, too," "I want to try this, too."

It will be hard at first, the comfort zone will struggle to pull you back into it. It will only depend on you if you give in to it and remain captive in it or if you take the big step out of it and put your desires first.

He did not expect this moment to happen at the age of 70.

For some things, it may be too late. Learn to get out of your comfort zone in time. Do not block your evolution and the right to have all kinds of life experiences. If you do not develop the ability to get out of your comfort zone, you will miss many opportunities in life.

If you say "not now, I don't have the energy for something like that", "not today, tomorrow will be a hard day, I need energy" in response to an invitation to do something that seems challenging and you think that it will consume your energy, you will sabotage your personality development.

While others will have all kinds of life experiences, you will keep your energy.

The question is: why do you keep your energy?

Why do you say that a trip will tire you out or that gaining new skills in a field you are passionate about will exhaust you? If you do not consume your energy by doing beautiful things that excite you and from which you can learn, then what do you do with it? What do you use it for?

The paradox is that even though you think you keep your energy, you only keep the comfort zone. You will not have the energy anyway, as no phone is left with 100% battery if you keep it off.

Don't knowingly turn your life into a clinical death

The comfort zone is like a clinical death. You neither live nor die. Just wait.

Everything beautiful happens when you live.

Life experiences, unforgettable moments, funny memories, travels, love received and offered, all happen when you live.

We don't know what's going on after death. But what is certain is that when you are clinically dead, nothing happens. You are waiting to die or live.

The comfort zone keeps your personality in a clinical death

You watch passively as the years go by, without doing the things you enjoy, without developing, without enjoying life. You remain in a mediocre life, a life in which you receive what is offered to you and do not ask for more. Don't ask for more because you know you'll have to act to get what you want. And your comfort zone doesn't like action, it doesn't like challenges.

Challenge yourself to constantly step out of your comfort zone

If you repeatedly step out of your comfort zone you will be ready for anything. You will have enough life experience to face any challenge. There is no better way to grow than to get out of your comfort zone. Every new thing you do increases your life experience, every new activity increases your skills, every new place you visit improves your knowledge.

The more you are open to new challenges, the more you diversify your life experiences. You increase your self-confidence, your ability to cope with any situation.

The most important reason why you should constantly step out of your comfort zone is that your passions, dreams, and happiness are outside its range. Apart from that, you develop personally and professionally, you evolve and at the same time, you enjoy life and all that it has to offer.

Outside, you live, you don't sleep.

Wake up from the deep, long sleep of your comfort zone and enjoy life.
