You hear it all the time…Get out of your comfort zone! What does that actually mean? The internet is full of cliché motivational quotes and memes about getting out of your comfort zone:
– “The magic happens out of your comfort zone.”
– “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”
– “Everything you ever wanted is just outside of your comfort zone.”
After working with clients from all different backgrounds for the past decade I can tell you that these quotes are true. Staying in your comfort zone gives people a sense of security and safety that, let’s face it…makes it hard to “risk” stepping out of it.
The quote that has been stuck in my head for years is, “Great things never come from comfort zones.” After working with clients from all different backgrounds for the past decade I can tell you that these quotes are true. Staying in your comfort zone gives people a sense of security and safety that, let’s face it…makes it hard to “risk” stepping out of it. There isn’t ultimately anything wrong with staying in your comfort zone, unless you are getting too comfortable and holding yourself back instead of challenging and growing. Think about the difference between content and complacent. We should be content in all seasons.
Almost daily one of my clients will look directly at me and say, “This is way out of my comfort zone.” My response is always, “Great!” Striving to provide a healthy and challenging atmosphere is our #1 goal.
One of the first quotes I ever adopted in fitness is “If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you!”
I work with clients on a regular basis on at least pushing and poking at their comfort zones. Sometimes this happens with one foot in and one foot out. Little things like:
– “So what if you fail the first time?”
– “Lets attack that weakness instead of avoiding it!”
– And my personal favorite…”Dance like no one is watching.”
