I have talked about our comfort zones previously and probably will do so again in the future.
Comfort zones have a lot to do with why we do or do not attempt something, make a sale, undertake a new task, or build relationships.
Comfort zones are essentially what we feel confident and competent in doing. It's not reaching into other areas of expertise, or learning new behavior, or attempting to act in a way that is a bit of a stretch for us. While some activity may be within someone's comfort zone, it may not be within another's.
In my podcast message today, "STRETCHING," I talk about the necessity of gently stretching and expanding our comfort zones to broaden our areas of competency and grow as a person. It's sometimes a little scary but necessary.
Expanding beyond our normal comfort zone to make our zone that much larger and allows us to accomplish more - to have margin and the self-confidence that comes with enlarging our area of competence.
We don't always have to be living on the edge or have the feeling that we are doing more than we are capable of or equipped for. Even as we all have different personalities are different, the more we challenge ourselves to reach out beyond what is just comfortable, the more we we will be able to cope with additional responsibility and situations as they arise.
Stretching expands our capacity for core competency.
