At the core is the Comfort Zone, where we feel at ease and in control. The Stretch Zone surrounds it, representing the space just outside our Comfort Zone where we take on manageable challenges. The Panic Zone lies beyond the Stretch Zone, where challenges feel overwhelming and can trigger significant stress.
When we intentionally stretch from the Comfort Zone into the Stretch Zone, we begin to expand our boundaries. Each time we step outside our comfort zone, we make it a bit larger, increasing our capacity to handle new experiences.
Over time, the Stretch Zone becomes part of our new comfort zone, and what once felt uncomfortable becomes more familiar. This creates a natural cycle of growth and expansion. Eventually, our Comfort Zone grows to encompass more, and what was once stretching becomes the new norm.
Magic happens outside your comfort zone.
