Comfort Will Ruin Your Life

Показать описание

We usually avoid difficulty whenever we can, but I try to do something difficult every single day.
In this video, I’ll explain the three main reasons behind why I’ve chosen this approach.
And it all starts with the comfort zone.

When we're in our comfort zones, we're not pushing ourselves.
At the first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with that.
Why would we voluntarily put ourselves in a position of struggle, if we don't have to?

But if we only live our lives in comfort, we might be unknowingly doing ourselves an injustice.
Hopefully by the end of the video you will be inspired to leave your comfort zone and do something difficult today yourself.

Hey everyone!

Yes, all is well and I'm actually still alive.

Whether you're an old subscriber or you've just stumbled upon the channel, you might have noticed it's been quite a while since the last upload.
Roughly a year ago, I encountered some copyright issues, which made the channel temporarily inaccessible.
Luckily it was all sorted out and the channel was made available again.

But even with the issues resolved, I didn't create any new content for quite a while.
To be completely honest, I fell out of the video creation routine and instead spent my time doing other things that I found compelling. Content creation was simply pushed to the side.
I was still working on videos, but since other activities were taking most of my time, barely any progress was made on them.

However, I'm now finally returning to revive this channel, starting with this video.
I'm going to keep it on a smaller scale, so videos probably won't be uploaded as often as before, but I'm happy to announce that I'm back to making them regularly nonetheless.

Finally, I want to thank each and every one of you for your continued support over the years. It means a lot.
I hope you're all doing well in these turbulent times and are still trying to become better than yesterday :)

"If you never push yourself to the limit, how can you know where your limit is?" very smart and true words
Thanks for showing up again!

I really like this phrase:

" trying something new makes you feel like an incompetent fool" I really felt that!.

Comfort is so addictive for me. It's hard to even look back. I've been a hard worker since school till college and I went into depression during my college years just trying to be a good student academically. Now I've found a simple yet decent work. And I've been living happier than ever. A feeling I've not felt in a long time since childhood.

Took me losing the comfort zone I built over 40 years to understand this. The real adventure started when I no longer had any comfort zones.
Thank you for this. I love confirmations!

As we say in Germany: "Wer rastet, der rostet". We grow through the _right amount_ of challenge!

After failing 3 times in a gym, because I was always in danger zone. I started walking. I love walking I can walk for 30 min daily & it's enjoyable. The key is to find the habits you really enjoy 😊

I never thought that the comfort zone can also shrink but it makes sense and gives more motivation to leave it. Very useful video!

There’s a fine balance between leaving the comfort zone and not inviting harmful levels of stress to enter your life. I have experienced the latter work-wise by pushing myself, which was counter productive in the long run

"Because they don't confront their fear, their fear becomes even bigger" WHOA! Love your infographic teaching style

1:16 When you're doing the same things, the same way, over and over, the comfort zone itself begins to shrink. The things that you were comfortable with before, are now less comfortable.

2:52 However, when we push ourselves and do something that is a little more difficult or challenging for us, we leave the comfort zone and we enter the growth zone.
There's no improvement without challenge, remember that.

3:48 Of course the comfort zone isn't just one single zone for everything. We have multiple zones.
You might be pushing yourself in some of them, stagnating in others and even deteriorating
in some.
It's up to each of us to identify which zone needs more work. And it's completely fine to stop progressing in some areas if you're happy with where you are. There's no need to push yourself at everything you do.

4:19 But if you're not happy with where you are, there are a few ways to go from comfort to growth.

1. Do it more consistently and do it more often.

2. Do it more intensely and do a harder version of what you normally do.

3. Do it for a longer period of time.

6:42 With that being said, if something is difficult, it doesn't automatically mean it's good.
The area you want to be uncomfortable in, has to have some sort of a long-term benefit.
So these types of areas are where you should actually push yourself, the ones with short-term pain, but long-term gain.
And that is the second reason why I try to do something difficult every day. Even though it might feel uncomfortable in the moment, I know that my behavior will pay off in the future. And only by entering the growth zone and pushing myself, am I able to reap those positive long term benefits.

Welcome back, you don't give up, you face the challenges life thinks you worthy of.

Thank you for returning! I really enjoy your videos and I'm sure you know how much of a difference they make in the lives of so many people.

Great video. I might add that sometimes you’re simply stuck in the comfort zone because you can’t figure out the best actions to take to improve. Just grinding it out doesn’t always lead to better results if you’re not spending your time on the right things and it’s often useful to ask for help from a mentor or coach to get the results you want.

I'm constantly learning new things, stretching myself. Sometimes it's frightening, but mainly it's a great deal of fun!

This is where the Joy is, for me, at least.
