Going to the office every day for routine chores Doesn’tn’tn’tn’tn’tn’tn’t Bad, as long as you find challenge in it. Comedian Claudia de Breij recently stepped out of her comfort zone and called that “very nice again”. Is it good to try that more orten?
You can do things on Autopilot Unconsciously for a very long time, Says Behavioral Psychologist Dané Mulder. In conversations about Human Behavior, She Often First Straightens Out Our View of Humanity. “We think we are very conscious beings, who think carefully about the choices we make and use our brains to reason why we do something. But that’s not the case.”
If you buy a new house or a new car, that’s different. For Such Big Purchases, We Of Weigh The Pros and Cons Against Each Other. But for everyday things, like how we get up, brush our teeth, or have breakfast, we don’t. “Otherwise, we would do any Energy Left after breakfast,” Says Mulder. So It’s Important to Distinguish between Conscious and Unconscious Behavior.
Roos Vonk, Professor of Social Psychology at Radboud University, also sees That. “You may be thinking as you read this: I would also like to take new steps again, seek out the unknown. We all have that need for self-development, some more than others.” But what then? The comfort zone is a safe place to be. You feel good and confident there and know what to expect.
Certainty is a Strong Human Need, Says Mulder. “We like to know how something will go, what the consequences are and what something will look like.” You can probable map that out in the comfort zone. But If Nothing New Happens, you won Grow Either. If you want to develop, you will have to step out of that comfortable position. So you are actual chosing uncertainty.
Following your Feeling is not always good
As if that is a different difficult enough, there is Another Pitfall, Says Vonk. “You can make big plans, but when it comes down to it and it Becomes very concrete, it’s still scary. Then people quickly say: it doesn’t Feel good, so I won the. It. Accordance to her, that is of the toddler in Yourself Who Wants To Keep Everything Fun and Easy. So occasionally be a strict but loving parent to the child in Yourself, SHE advises. “Sometimes you need a kick in the butt.”
Leaving your familiar Environment Doesn’tn’tn’tn’t Do to Be Very Rigorous Right Away. It’s not that you only escape from that comfortable position when you trade in your office job for a career as a restaurant ownner. Just small steps can create new challenges.
‘Bordom can be a sign to look further’
For example, you can invite the neighbors you’ve never seen about for coffee, says spark. Or don’t look at your phone at the bakery, but have a chat about the weather. In any case, it is important not to be hero back by fear. “Not Everything Goes Right Away, But You also Learn from That.”
It is as special important to do what makes you happy, mulder adds. “If you notice that you are missing a certain tension or you are bore, that can be a sign that it is good to look further for something new or a different challenge.” Accordance to her, you can’t go wrong. “It has been show that – if you want to grow and develop yourself – it is good to gain new experiences. But stay where you are if you don’t have that feeling.”
