COMFORT ZONES “WHY CHANGE IS IMPORTANT”

OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS ACTUALLY ONE WORD IN MEANING WHEN WE USE IT TO DESCRIBE A COMFORT ZONE.   BEFORE I GO FURTHER, IT IS IMPORTANT TO GIVE YOU THE WEBSTER DEFINITION MEANING OF A COMFORT ZONE. 

WEBSTER DEFINITION- COMFORT ZONE – THE LEVEL AT WHICH ONE FUNCTIONS WITH EASE AND FAMILIARITY. (PARTIAL).

THE DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION OF A COMFORT ZONE-A STATE OF MIND POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE WE FALL INTO OVER A LONG TIME PERIOD WHERE WE ARE TOO COMFORTABLE IN LIFE AND CHANGES ARE NECESSARY FOR OURSELF TO GROW. 

A COMFORT ZONE CAN BE A POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE IN LIFE.  COMFORT ZONES ARE KEY WHEN WE’RE RECOVERING FROM TRAUMA OR UPHEAVAL THAT IS NEGATIVE AND UNHEALTHY. WE MAY TEMPORARILY NEED TO BE IN ONE IN ORDER TO HEAL.  HOWEVER,  FALLING INTO LONG PATTERNS OF COMFORT OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME INHIBITS PERSONAL GROWTH.  IN FACT, WE FIND SOME COMFORT ZONES REGARDLESS IF THEY ARE SAFE  BECOMING USED TO OUR ENVIRONMENT. CHANGE  REQUIRES COURAGE-COURAGE  REQUIRES CHANGE.  OUR PATH IN LIFE SHOULD ALWAYS CHANGE IF WE WISH TO GROW.  NEW STEPS FOR PERSONAL GROWTH AND CHANGE REQUIRE COURAGE BECUAW WE ARE FACING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN.   

SOMETIMES COMFORT ZONES ARE VERY NEGATIVE ESPECIALLY WHEN UNHEALTHY WHERE THER ARE THOSE WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH AS OUR CHILDREN.  HOWEVER, IT IS WHAT WE’VE BECOME USED TO OVER LONG PERIOD(S)  OF TIME SO REGARDLESS, THIS IS ONE REASON WE STAY.  WE ARE SEASONED INTO THE DYSFUNCTION.

WE FIGURE THE CHANGE WE WOULD MAKE TO GET OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE COULD BE EVEN WORSE. FEAR WHEN  CHANGING IS NORMAL BECAUSE THE OUTCOME IS AN UNKNOWN.  WE IMAGINE FROM FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN SITUATION POTENTIALLY WORSE.  WHAT WE DON’T THINK ABOUT IS WE MAY SHAPE OUR LIFE BUT CAN’T CONTROL THE PAINFUL EVENTS WE ARE IN. THE CONTROL IS IMAGINED AS ANYTHING WE FEAR IS.  WE ARE JUST AS LIKELY TO BE SAFE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.    WE CONTROL HOW WE SHAPE OUR LIFE.  WE DON’T CONTROL OTHERS ACTIONS AND WE CAN’T CONTROL UNKNOWN IN LIFE ALSO IN PART ILLUSION.  BECAUSE EACH DAY SEEMS TO BE A CONSTANT, BUT CHANGE IS A PART OF LIFE WHETHER WE CREATE IT OR NOT.    

THE LONGER WE STAY IN THIS NEGATIVE COMFORT ZONE, THE LESS CHANCE WE HAVE MAKING A CHANGE THAT IS NECESSARY.  MANY OF US END UP IN RELATIONSHIPS WITH A PARTNER WHO IS ABUSIVE.  WE STAY SOMETIMES BECAUSE IT IS WHAT WE KNOW AND CAN EXPECT.  AS SICK AS THIS MAY SOUND, IT IS COMMON.  THANKS FOR READING ABOUT COMFORT ZONES TODAY.  WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS OR ANYTHING ADDITIONAL YOU’D LIKE TO SHARE?  WE LOVE SHARING AND CONVERSATIONS WE GROW FROM THEM.  YOU CAN START ONE UP IN THE “JOIN THE DISCUSSION” AREA BENEATH THIS ARTICLE.  THANKS FOR READING, TODAY.

ACCEPTANCE IS NOT DEFEAT (REPOST)

Accepting is NOT defeat, it’s adding layers of intimacy with the universe or higher power and getting more acquainted with them.

This is something my counselor and I recently talked about in a grueling session. For new readers that may not know, I have clinical depression and have been seeing a counselor years.

MEN DON’T CRY…DO THEY? (REVISED)

“Have a good cry, wash out your heart. If you keep it inside it’ll tear you apart.”
-Sometimes You Win (1979) by Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show

Sometimes it’s discouraged, sometimes you’re pushed to let it out. But if you’re a male who grew up in the twentieth century, you were most likely told not to do it, especially in public.

I’m talking about crying.

But are there exceptions to that philosophy? Are there instances when giving up will actually be advantageous?
