Motivational Quote
In working as an ASVAB tutor, I see the value in presenting uplifting messages.
Today I present a motivational quote about the importance of leaving your comfort zone.
“Life will only change when you become more committed to your dreams than you are to your comfort zone.” -Unknown
The question is, “What is a comfort zone?”
The definition is a psychological state in which things feel familiar to a person and they are at ease and in control of their environment, experiencing low levels of anxiety and stress.
The one who came up with this term was Alasdair White. He came up with the notion that to achieve high performance that a person must experience a certain amount of stress. He is a British management theorist who is famous for his work on performance management from a behavioral perspective.
The term “comfort zone” has made its way into social media. There are countless posts encouraging people to step outside their comfort zone. Learning, growth, and improvement in life do not just arrive. They require hard work. This hard work and struggle lie outside our comfort zone. Just outside our comfort zone is the optimal performance zone. Beyond the optimal performance zone lies the danger zone. The danger zone level is where stress levels are too high. To reach our peak level of achievement, we need to strive to be in the optimal performance zone which is sometimes known as the learning zone.
