"If you indulge in the comfort zone, you will ruin your life step by step."

"Your comfort zone is slowly destroying you."

"comfort zone, your chronic poison"

"If you can't jump out of your comfort zone, you will always be an ordinary person!"

"How cool is it to get out of the comfort zone?"

It seems that if you stay in the comfort zone, life will collapse; People can't seem to live in the comfort zone.

But in the comfort zone, many people are really anxious, especially in the workplace.

Although anxious, only a few people are willing to jump out of the comfort zone, and most people prefer to stay in the comfort zone. Why?

People's misunderstanding of the word "comfort zone" Baidu Encyclopedia defines comfort zone as follows:

Comfort zone refers to a person's psychological state and habitual behavior pattern, in which people will feel comfortable.

In this area, people will feel comfortable, relaxed, stable, controlled and safe. Once out of this area, people will feel uncomfortable, uncomfortable or unaccustomed.

The word comfort zone is a psychological term, which has both positive and negative effects.

Positive role: helping people to maintain their self-image and build a psychological defense barrier can play the role of a safe haven. Secondly, comfort zone is a self-regulator, which can stabilize people's mood. Third, the comfort zone determines people's acceptance of external information.

Negative effects: people who indulge in the "comfort zone" will not make progress, stand still, and behave lazily, slackly, tired and conservative.

It can be said that comfort zone is a neutral word, but with the increasing pressure of people's life in modern society and the emergence of various "juvenile anxiety" and "middle-aged crisis", comfort zone is gradually misunderstood as a derogatory term, and people think that comfort zone is synonymous with people's lack of progress and complacency.

Actually, it's not. It's just that people exaggerate the negative effects of comfort zones.

Staying in the comfort zone is the true nature of human beings. As we all know, it is the nature of all animals to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Their concept of territory is particularly heavy, because at least they are safe on their own territory. Facing foreign enemies, they will defend their territory with their lives. This kind of territory is a comfortable area for them, and they will feel uneasy if they leave this territory.

In fact, human beings, too, know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If it is not necessary, human beings would rather stay in the comfort zone of their own territory. Most wars in human history are territorial disputes. For example, during the Warring States period, why did Qin annex six countries? Its ultimate goal is to establish a comfort zone to promote its own rule.

Some people say that leaving the comfort zone is anti-human behavior.

I'm impressed.

Imagine that in the era when human beings are eating and drinking blood, if they leave the comfort zone, they will be attacked by animals and other creatures, and their lives will be in danger. If they are not careful, they will not see the sun tomorrow.

If it weren't for food or danger, human beings wouldn't die and leave the familiar field to explore.

Modern society, although survival has become less difficult. But if you have a big house to live in and a mine at home, who will want to leave home and work hard outside?

Some people say that Dong Mingzhu has a stable job, but she resolutely resigned and went to work in the south. She started as a grass-roots salesman, and 15 was promoted to general manager of Gree, which became a much-told story.

It was also said that Ma Yun had a stable job as a teacher, but he resigned and founded Alibaba.

These are all true. There is no denying that a small number of people in this world are adventurous, such as Dong Mingzhu, Ma Yun and Shi Yuzhu.

But this is only an example, because there are so few people like them who like to take risks. Most people are ordinary people, without much adventurous spirit, just to survive.

Therefore, escaping from the comfort zone can be said to be an anti-human behavior, and staying in the comfort zone is the true face of human beings. Those articles that advocate getting out of the comfort zone are completely teaching bad children.

Of course, inspirational chicken soup that escapes from the comfort zone may be helpful to some people who are at a low ebb, but it may be misleading to those children who are not deeply involved in the world.

Because success is not as simple as imagined, usually behind a winner, there are countless losers.

People are becoming more and more rational and will not blindly jump out of the comfort zone. A few years ago, there was a trend called advocating others to get out of the comfort zone.

You obviously just want to be an ordinary person, and someone told you to live a valuable and meaningful life.

You obviously just want to finish college happily, and some people argue that "you are still young and should get out of your comfort zone."

You obviously have a good life, and someone always reminds you that you have to throw away these good days.

In the past, I would definitely have a boiling passion, full of praise, and strive to move forward.

But now, I'd rather stick to my land, work hard and concentrate on building my own personal brand. I just laugh at other people's persuasion.

Because the comfort zone is my advantage and my magic weapon for survival and success in society in the future. And blindly jumping out of the comfort zone is simply asking for it.

For example, I am good at my work as a doctor, and I enjoy my work and life every day. If you jump out of your comfort zone and become a teacher or lawyer, it is called a pearl covered with dust.

I can do well in the comfort zone. I have a cousin who likes children since childhood. After graduating from high school, she went to the Teachers College, and later returned to teach primary schools in remote mountainous areas, where she worked as a teacher for nearly 20 years.

I asked her, are you tired? She smiled and said, "Tired, but tired and happy".

She sent away a group of students from their mountain primary school. Along the way, she watched them grow into talents and showed a gratified smile on her face. And through her own efforts, she also won the title of "Senior Teacher".

I asked her if her best achievement for so many years had won the title of senior teacher. She said: "My best achievement is not to win this championship. My greatest achievement is to cultivate students into useful people. "

She has stayed in such a small mountain village for nearly 20 years, and maybe she will continue to stay in the future. But it is in such an ordinary post that she has made remarkable achievements.

There is also a maintenance worker, Lao Li, who has been doing road maintenance all his life. It can be said that he devoted his youth and sweat to the road cause.

Over the years, Lao Li has been awarded the titles of "advanced individual" and "model worker" by his superiors many times.

Someone asked him, is your best achievement for so many years the title of "advanced individual"? He said: "My best achievement is that there is no big problem with the road I maintain."

What ordinary words, what ordinary people

There are many ordinary people like my cousin and Lao Li in society. They stay in one place, stick to their posts and stay in their comfort zone all their lives.

Their silent dedication is their best achievement.

Leaving the comfort zone means taking risks. I have a friend, Xiao Jiang, who said to me, "I have been worried to death recently. My dad has been out recently, and it is still an industry that he doesn't understand at all. "

Xiao Jiang's father used to be a small leader in the electric power department. His unit is good and his salary is high. He couldn't stand other people's persuasion, retired early and started a decoration company.

In recent years, the new house decoration market is really booming, but the interlacing is like a mountain, and there are too many doorways for clearing packages, semi-packages and all-packages.

A layman, who has never done business before, where can I get the bill? Others gave him an idea to do low-cost all-inclusive to attract customers. He was tired enough to do several projects and lost more than 200,000 yuan.

I'm going to train with someone else recently. The whole family refused to listen to any advice and could only watch him squander all his savings.

Originally, I retired safely, and my savings and pension could completely guarantee Uncle Jiang's old age. Great, people have worked hard and all their money has been used up.

So, what's wrong with staying in the comfort zone? Why take the risk?

In fact, what we have been pursuing is to bypass the comfort zone and return to the original point. In fact, what people pursue in this life is how to enter the comfort zone.

Why should we pursue a big house? Because it is comfortable.

Why do we want to enter a big company? Because leaning against a big tree is cool and comfortable.

Why should we pursue money? Because money makes us comfortable.

Why should we pursue beautiful women? Because beautiful women look comfortable.

We have been pursuing, from the poor to the rich, from small staff to big leaders, from small soldiers to generals, to the end, all for more comfort.

It's just that most people have been wandering outside the comfort zone. Many people don't have a big house to live in and many people don't have money, so everyone pursues comfort.

Of course, for people who like adventure or have lofty ideals, they spend their whole lives climbing the peak, and there is never any comfort zone. For those who have no lofty ideals, living in the present is their best life.

Go to work on time from nine to five every day, occasionally meet a few friends for a drink, or watch a movie or TV series, go out for a trip during the holiday, enjoy poetry and distant places, and completely ignore the future, because it is good to be comfortable.

As for dreams, there are still some, just waiting for the right opportunity.

Whether you leave the comfort zone or stay in the comfort zone ultimately depends on your own choice.
