Comfort zone

 Comfort zone


If you feel stuck, you are. You are stuck inside your own comfort zone. A comfort zone is a place where you feel relaxed and at ease, but it is the same place where no change ever happens. Breaking out of your comfort zone requires forced action and effort. Learn how to break out of your comfort zone and you will see immediate change. 


Content people feel resistance and instantly stop. Growing people feel resistance and keep going until something breaks. That break is the sound of your comfort zone shattering. The time between the initial feeling of resistance and the break is scary. It is a feeling of uncertainty and fear of the unknown. Once you break out of the comfort, everything seems to slow down. You feel like you have achieved something. You feel like you have arrived. It is an instant dopamine hit when you have finally broken out of your comfort zone. 


We all want change. Change is the only way for life to get better. Your mind tries to hold you back. It is your old self that has grappled you by the waist and is attempting to hold on to you at all costs. That is the feeling of comfort that has learned to circulate our mind. We crave comfort but we also crave change. They don’t go hand in hand. 


Learn to crave the feeling of resistance. Let your brain begin to associate resistance with change. Break through that resistance and find a new version of yourself. But don’t stop there. Every single time you begin feeling comfortable again, look for a place to improve. Feel that resistance trying to hold you back and break through it. Every single time a comfort zone is broken, the easier it gets. Continue moving forward and don’t ever settle. Be the best you can be.

untitled 729

  As if they’d never end I can feel the end begin Just as it did before I walked out, shut the door Won’t step foot there anymore Flashbacking, backtracking To warm water splashing As the sand swirls And I hold you close to me Because I know it makes you feel Like it makes me feel Now it’s realer And faces once familiar Have become distant characters In our memories of yesterday Where was I? Did I find what I tried to find? Because in some ways I feel blind To the thoughts of my younger mind Somewhere in the meantime I got caught up in this screen time Lost the deeper meaning Just following the street signs

  “You coming or what!?” My sunburnt eyelids slowly opened to the same bright sun as always. Half my body hung over the side of the bus stop bench. I still felt hazy from last night’s fix. “Dude, I’m doing you a favor here!” I looked up to be blinded by a bright red car holding up traffic at the intersection. Horns were blaring behind him as he scolded me from the car. It seemed like the horns didn’t even bother him as he sat back in his seat with his head nearly touching the roof and his eyes stuck on the dirty windshield in front of him. Confused as to what was happening, I got up and cleared the dust from my eyes. I grabbed my bag and made my way over to the dented passenger side door of that red car. He rolled the window up and let out a deep sigh as I approached.  “It’s Sam, how ya doin?” “Hey I’m M-” “It’s not short for anything either, it’s just Sam. What you feelin man?” “I’m, uh, I’m pretty, uhhh-” “Music, man, music!” He slammed his hand on the steering wheel. “What ...

Sometimes I still feel like Mentally I am here Sailing to shore with the wake Maybe I wish I was Maybe it’s just my way To escape Whatever it is- Who cares? Because when there are waves I don’t even notice Because the sun shines Bright, where the trees break And the waves are no longer danger Instead they fade into The sounds of the lake Superior to be 19, Grand Marais 20 whatever I feel it everyday Seagulls squawk But to me they say Happy birthday Even though it’s just another Ordinary day Though a sky like this Doesn’t just make for another day … When life was a mess I never even prayed When I had no faith You still showed your face And I still think about it Every single day.
