Introduction:
I'm curious to know what is your comfort zone and how can you tell that it's working for you. The Comfort zone is when we do things without anxiety or self-consciousness. In other words, we are not scared of making mistakes because it's our personal space. For example, if you're afraid of speaking in public, that means that you will feel discomfort while doing so but if you have a confident and calm feeling then that means that this area is comfortable for you.
The comfort zone is a concept commonly used in psychology and social science. It describes the area of behaviors, attitudes, or opinions that a person finds comfortable. The term was invented by psychologists to describe the range of behaviors, attitudes, and opinions that most people find familiar and comfortable.
What is your personal comfort zone?
My personal comfort zone is the area of my life where I am most comfortable and confident. This can change over time, but it's a good starting point for me.
When I'm in my comfort zone, I feel like I'm at my best and can do the things that give me the greatest sense of accomplishment. If there's something I need to do, but don't like doing, then it's not part of my comfort zone.
I also know what makes me uncomfortable because it's never happened before. When something happens that pushes me out of my comfort zone, it usually feels really awkward and new. For example:
When someone compliments me on something or asks for help with something, even though I don't know how to do it yet - this feels uncomfortable because I haven't experienced receiving praise or assistance in these situations before.
When people ask me detailed questions about myself or my life - this feels uncomfortable because it's a lot of information being thrown at me at once and I don't know how to answer all those questions yet!
How did you choose it?
My personal comfort zone is the place where I have a lot of control. A lot of people have trouble deciding where their personal comfort zone should be, and that's because they don't understand what comfort means.
When you're doing something for the first time, it's uncomfortable. When you're doing something for the second or third time, it's not uncomfortable anymore. But if you do something over and over again, then it becomes comfortable.
The easiest way to find your personal comfort zone is by finding out how long it takes before an activity feels like work. If you can make an activity take less than five minutes, then you've found your personal comfort zone!
If an activity takes longer than five minutes but less than ten minutes, then you know where your personal comfort zone should be.
If an activity takes longer than ten minutes but less than fifteen minutes, then you know where your personal comfort zone should be.
If an activity takes longer than fifteen minutes but less than twenty minutes, then you know where your personal comfort zone should be.
If an activity takes longer than twenty minutes but less than thirty minutes.
Why was it created in the first place?
The comfort zone is a very human thing. It was created in the first place to help us cope with the uncertainty of life. But it has another role as well: It allows us to define ourselves and our place in the world.
In many ways, we all start out life with a comfort zone that is defined by our family, peers, culture, and society. We are comfortable because we know what's expected of us and how others will react to our actions.
The comfort zone can be defined by different things: age, gender, race, religion, or background. Even though we may feel comfortable within our comfort zones at times, most of us work hard to expand our confidence levels so that we can become better people.
Will it give you the life you want?
I have been in the service industry for most of my life. I love it! I am passionate about what I do and I feel very fortunate to be able to make a living doing what I love. But, sometimes, even though we may love what we do, it can become a bit stressful.
The reason why this happens is that there are always so many expectations associated with our jobs. We want to please our customers and keep them happy; but also, we want to maintain good relations with other people in our company or department. We also want to constantly be looking for ways to improve efficiency and productivity at work; but on top of all this, we often feel like we have no time for ourselves!
So what is my personal comfort zone? Well, it’s a place that gives me the freedom to be myself while still getting the job done. It’s my own space where I know that if something happens (like someone calling in sick), then everything will run smoothly without any panic or stress.
Conclusion:
Remember that what may be outside your comfort zone now may eventually become your new normal. If you want to keep growing as a designer and improving the quality of your work, working outside your comfort zone is an absolute must. Don't let self-doubt hold you back—instead, challenge yourself and set a goal for what you'd like to learn or try next. I would also add: try not to force yourself to grow just for growth's sake and always give yourself time to get comfortable with a new endeavor before diving in headfirst. There's no rule that says you have to force yourself into discomfort if it's not practical in the long run.
