Our comfort zone, I think it's a place many of us want to be.
It's that zone that gives us a lot of security, that keeps us from coming out of our bubble or our shell. That prevents us from progressing, growing, knowing other emotions and facing constant change.
But why is this happening to us? Is it because we're comfortable people and we want to be free of stress or problems? Or is it because we're insecure people?
Actually I'm more inclined to the second option, I want to tell you a little bit about myself this time. I was a person too INSECURE, I was very afraid of changes, new situations, simply where I was not in control of things, I think there is still some of that, but I have been able to work on it and change some things in my life. I must thank someone who has helped me a lot with that @josevas217 the truth has been an effort of both.
I don't know if it has to do with my upbringing maybe yes or maybe no, but the truth is that I have always been very fearful and many times I let opportunities pass by just because I was in my area, where I could drive and where I could feel safe. By this I am not saying that feeling safe is wrong, obviously not, but I am just saying that our own insecurity does not allow us to grow and experience other things, things that can make us better people and benefit us in many other ways.
It is up to us to make the decision to go out and get to know the world and the emotions that this entails, sometimes we don't want to go out and go through possible bad times because we don't want to experience bad emotions, but those emotions are still part of our life, life is not only laughter and joy, there are also sadness, worries, anger, etc, but they are emotions that we must learn to handle and accept in our day to day life.
Experiencing new things in my opinion will generate more self-confidence or at least it happens to me, sometimes I think I am not able to do certain things and it turns out that I am, and that is where I realize that I am stronger than I think and that living with fears and insecurities does not generate any benefit but quite the opposite. And that's not how I want to live my life.
I want to be able to dare to do many things, without fear of making a mistake, because making a mistake is also an option, and as I said before everything is part of life, it is useless to stay in the same place always, if this is the case we will never advance, we will not learn, we will not enjoy, we will not experience all our feelings and emotions, in short, we will not live.
For that reason I have decided to leave my comfort zone and face the world and everything it has to offer.
And you still live in your comfort zone or have you already left it?
