The Four Zones Of Living

In your life, there are four main zones.  Each zone has a different purpose and way of being.  The key is to acknowledge which zone you’re in so that you can recognize if you’re stuck in a particular zone that is preventing you from achieving your goals and living your dream life.  Here are the four zones of living.

Comfort Zone

You’re probably most familiar with your comfort zone.  This is where you feel the safest.  You know exactly what to expect because you’ve done it all before.  You’re in complete control over what happens when you’re living in this zone.  There is nothing to be scared of.  Yes, this zone may sound warm and comfy, but this is where you really remain stuck in life.  There is no room for growth and to experience new things.  There are no goals to achieve because you are comfy right where you are.  In your comfort zone, you live life on repeat doing the same things you’ve always done.  If you want to live life to the fullest, you’re going to have to do things that are outside of your comfort zone.

Fear Zone

Next, is the fear zone.  This when you try and step outside your comfort zone, but your brain gives you all the excuses as to why you should remain in your comfort zone.  Your brain wants to keep you safe.  So, it makes up reasons why you shouldn’t try new things and expand your comfort zone.  All because these new things appear scary since you’ve never done these new things before.  The fear zone is where you lack confidence in yourself because you’re too caught up in your mind with the fears, self doubts, and worries.  This can keep you in the fear zone, paralyzed from going after your goals and dreams in life.  But, the truth is, when you feel fear this usually means you’re about to experience growth.  Force yourself to embrace your fears and push past the fear zone.

Learning Zone

Once you’ve made it through the fear zone, you’ll often find yourself in the learning zone.  This is where you’re educating yourself and learning new skills.  You consume a bunch of information in order to best prepare yourself for what you want to achieve.  Here you’ve convinced yourself that once you feel like you know everything and have the perfect plan, then you will take action on your goals in life.  However, the learning zone can also keep you stuck.  It may feel like you’re expanding your comfort zone because you’re learning new things, but you aren’t taking action and implementing what you’re learning.  The best thing you can do is to start taking action on what you’ve learned.  Don’t let yourself fall back into the fear zone at this point.  You’re about ready to experience growth and life at a whole new level!

Growth Zone

The growth zone is where the true magic happens.  Here you are living your dream life with purpose.  You are setting and achieving goals that are moving your life forward.  The growth zone is where you take action.  This is where you want to live.  It’s a cumulation of the other three zones you’ve had to go through.  In the growth zone, you’re stepping outside your comfort zone.  You’re conquering your fears and taking massive action towards achieving great things in your life.  Plus, you’re taking what you’ve learned and putting it into practice.  The growth zone is where you are living your best life to the fullest extent.  This is how you will achieve your goals and live the life you’ve always imagined.

Now, consider which zone you are in.  Perhaps you are stuck in your comfort zone because it’s safe and you know what to expect.  Maybe you’ve tried stepping outside your comfort zone and experienced the fear zone.  Your mind gave you all the reasons why it’s not a good idea to leave your comfort zone.  If you were able to push past the fear zone you may have found refuge in the learning zone.  There you can learn and educate yourself so you feel like you’re growing.  But, not really since there is a lack of any substantial progress in your life.  In order to live life to the fullest, you’ll need to step into the growth zone.  This is the zone where you take massive action and get tangible results.  You’re setting and achieving goals that are moving your life forward.  Push yourself to live in the growth zone.  This is where you will live your most fulfilling dream life.
