Now many people hear the phrase "comfort zone". In the language of psychology, it means a person’s stay in the living space (both in the physical and mental sense), in which he is comfortable, he does not experience stress and anxiety, he is relaxed, but at the same time nothing happens to him, he, as a rule, does not seek to bring something new into his life. Of course, to each his own. Not everyone has great goals, for their happiness they have enough stable earnings, a normalized working day and evening TV. And if there is longing for the great, then very quickly it disappears. People around them, trying to push them to change, cause only irritation, and eventually recede over time.
But when the comfort zone by the individual who is in it is recognized as an obstacle to development, decisive steps must be taken here. No, not all people are able to reach some stellar heights, not everyone has outstanding abilities, talents, not everyone has luck. But to make your life more successful and richer, to develop the desired qualities in yourself, to get additional skills, to expand or change the circle of communication under the power of any person, if he begins to leave his comfort zone.
Modern psychology offers many methods of self-improvement.
Almost all of them are based on the destruction of stereotypes, on a change in thinking,
getting rid of old and forming new habits. It is quite vital
recommendations, however, in order for them to work, it is necessary not to reason but
act. It is not clear where to start? From the small.
- make a rearrangement of furniture;
- go to work the other way;
- change the dull awakening in the morning to a vigorous jump to the clockwork music;
- sign up for sports training, dancing or courses;
- make new friends;
- to go on an unusual journey;
- think about how to turn a hobby into a means of earning;
- at work to surprise everyone with a new idea or a masterpiece of cookery of their own manufacture;
- change hairstyle and style of clothes.
These are just minor innovations that could be the beginning of great events.
Many books have already been written on the topic of “Psychology of Happiness,” in the corresponding stores they occupy entire racks and leading places in sales ratings. People really want to be happy and succeed, which is not surprising. Only here the authors and publishers of such literature benefit, as well as the organizers of self-improvement seminars, which cost a lot of money. It is far from a fact that after these courses a person will change his life overnight, and after reading the book and even more so, it’s simple for people to look for a miraculous remedy that will itself lead them to prosperity and happiness. The comfort zone is not broken so easily. To get out of it, it’s not enough to make efforts one or two times, here we need constant work, and above all on ourselves. After all, sometimes it seems that the world is literally disposed to laziness. You don’t even have to go to the store; you can order by phone all the way to the grocery.
That is the main danger - the feeling of well-being. When you know that there is everything necessary for life, but that which is not there is either not so necessary or is unattainable at all, so why change something? Really, why? Well, I’ll parachute, well, I’ll go on a tour of Europe - but in general, what will change? Again a gray existence, home-work-gym. Again tightened the comfort zone . This is normal, the main thing is not to give up, not to stop, to move in a given direction. It will gradually become easier.
And it’s not so necessary to throw out an old cozy chair. After all, you can simply relax in it, returning from a “big” life full of achievements, to your sweet, now truly warm, rather than dull house.
