The Comfort Zone Principle
Todays message is about: The Comfort Zone Principle
The comfort zone principle says: To the degree that you keep yourself in your comfort zone is to the degree that your life will be immeasurably more boring, unfulfilling, unsatisfying, lifeless, and unhealthy.

Where are you holding yourself back?
Why does it matter where you're holding yourself back?
Isn't it okay to stay in our comfort zones?
Isnt it ok to stay safe?
To stay where you are?
To wait until you feel comfortable in order to finally do the thing?
NO. No no no and no. No.
For many reasons.
You're never actually going to feel like.... oh ya Im ready to do this thing Im totally comfortable.
NO.
No one ever in the history of the world is ever going to feel that way embarking on a new task because it's a new thing.
It's a new experience.
You still are going to have a comfort zone.
And embarking on tasks outside of that comfort zone will trigger fear and anxiety.
Your comfort zone is a compilation of everything you have already done
>>You know what to expect from these things<<
Even if you dont like these things,
The pain of doing something you've never done exceeds the pain of doing something you dont like
The fear of the unknown for humans is massive.
We would rather take the path that we can predict
Rather than trying something new
It's a risk
We risk emotion, status, psychological health, physical health, etc. when we try something new
It's scary as fuck
Its easy for no one.
So no you're never gonna feel ready to step out of your comfort zone
Another layer to this...
There's the fact that you actually want to step out of your comfort zone but you are scared:
So your logical mind is making up justifications as to why you cant or don't need to
You're telling yourself that its not necessary for what you need to accomplish...
It's frivolous, irresponsible, audacious, uncharacteristic, *fill in the blank*
You'll judge the people that do the thing, you'll be triggered by them
We come up with all types of logical reasons but the actual reason is because we dont want to step out of our comfort zone
Every day pushing the thing out of our mind, but the only thing is... they don't leave the mind.
You're just pushing it out of conscious awareness,
This is what I teach in my clear skin blueprint course relative to clearing your skin
Because when you are not doing the things you want to be doing,
You're creating strife between your physical self and your higher self
Theres a discombobulated energy which can come out as for example skin lesions
(everybody's body will communicate with them differently)
Your higher self knows what you should do, but your physical self doesnt want to do the thing.
Imagine for example that you knew that you should be eating a certain way but you never ate that way.
Your self esteem decreases, self discipline is decreased, unhappiness increases, negative energy increases
This is whats happening in your comfort zone
Look around you
Anything youre experiencing comes back to you
All of those "shoulds" are open tabs
They all create a negative relationship with oneself which will come out in discombobulated energy
This energy produces results, environments, and experiences that you are not happy with
Growth is very natural to humans,
But as we age it's not as evident like it is when we are very young
We're crawling then we're walking then we're riding a bike etc.
But when we get to a certain point that type of growth requires conscious effort
Almost like swimming upstream
It doesn't seem mandatory to survival, like walking is
Even though it can be (think of disease)
Leap and the net will appear
It requires leaping first
With only blind faith
Thats the type of energy you have to have
This is an obscure part of human existence
And therefore no one forces you to take care of this
By contrast, there is more societal pressure to take care of yourself physically
NOT doing it is taking the easy route.
The easy route is lazy
And it's OK to be lazy, but it should be balanced with the discipline to not be lazy
Discipline is actually easier route even though it doesn't seem like it
There is only one distinction between successful and unsuccessful people
Successful people do the things.
Unsuccessful people sometimes say rude, judgmental, ignorant things about successful people just to justify why they have decided to stay in their comfort zone
It's just like I've said in the past,
Winning as a science
You can choose to be successful, or you can choose to not be successful
But understand that it is a choice
And understand that even though everyone will have a different battle,
The comfort zone principle still exists within everyone
You must step out of it in order to succeed.
In order to live your best
And if you're not stepping out of your comfort zone, you will be triggered by those who do
And that is why I teach that your triggers are your teachers
Your triggers are trying to help you understand something
Dont let them remain unconscious
