Everyone feels flat and unmotivated sometimes. No matter how energetic and focused you are, there will be some days when you don’t feel the vibe.
You can give your motivation a kick-start by reinvigorating your life’s purpose. And this need not mean you must do a course or an online quiz or take yourself off to motivation boot camp. You don’t need to do many things to get back on track. You just need to do one simple thing.
If you’re in the doldrums, you must pick yourself up and take a big step out of your comfort zone.
The Ins and Outs of Your Comfort Zone
Most people stay in their comfort zone for a good reason – it’s comfortable! It feels good to be surrounded by like-minded people who don’t challenge your view of the world.
Your comfort zone is a cozy place. Online or in the real world, your comfort zone is full of messages reinforcing the status quo. It’s okay to miss your gym session or to be a couch potato. Everyone is sitting at home, eating tacos or popcorn.
Staying in your comfort zone is a one-way street to not taking on any challenges, not growing, not developing, or achieving. Comfort zone living encourages procrastination. It makes you defensive and frustrated when your instant gratification needs are unmet, or someone disagrees with you.
The Benefits of Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone
When you decide to step outside your comfort zone, sure it might feel a little scary, but the benefits soon outweigh the fears.
You can see that trying different things will stretch you and help you become a better person. Challenges can lead to success, leading to achieving things you would never have dreamed of.
And you can start to dream bigger and better dreams-your attitude toward success changes. Suddenly you know you can do it. You can see your deep desires begin to become a reality.
Your Life’s Purpose Lies Outside Your Comfort Zone
More confidence in your capabilities means you can look around and see your life’s purpose. And guaranteed, it’s not likely to be a marathon Netflix session!
You leave your safety bubble with one simple decision and see the world differently. You can see how what you do can help make the world a better place. That whatever you do has an impact on other people.
You can make a difference once you step out of your comfort zone and start living with meaning.
Until next time, stay safe, and keep the faith.
