Comfort Zones

"A comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there". In this episode Georgie and Engrid challenge this idea that you have to step outside your comfort zone, in order to grow and evolve. Additionally, this binary thinking can send us into a shame cycle, with beliefs such as: "If I don't push myself then I am lazy" (which can discourage you from trying something new at all). As well as: "I'm either uncomfortable and a GOOD person or comfortable and LAZY". We're asking ourselves: Are there things that are easy that are also fulfilling? Can you grow when things are easy? In this episode: What do our comfort zones look/feel like? The powerful concept of "both/and" The idea that we can dip in and out of our comfort zone in life depending on our needs and desires (both serve each other) Examples of how comfort zones show up with exercise, personal growth, & learning a new skill How to know how much is too much? (unsubscribing from the belief that you need to suffer in order to grow) Learning from your mistakes Deciphering the right kind of "hurt/pain" Asking ourselves "is this action/behavior realistically sustainable?" Does this practice ultimately bring me joy? (independent of my ego) What is the context of your situation? Is this ultimately going to serve me in the long run? Is this true, that I can't grow unless I "step outside my comfort zone"? Can I absolutely know this is true? Unsubscribing from pain/suffering as a badge of worthiness Examples of what we gain, not at the cost of feeling pain ____ CONNECT WITH US Instagram Join: Gal Pal Corral ENGRID Instagram: @livengproof Liveng Proof Podcast Website GEORGIE Instagram: @georgiemorley The Chasing Joy Podcast Website
