EPISODE #036
Here’s a question many of us have probably grappled with at one point – is pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone always the best decision for you? For instance, we’ve all heard the phrase “No pain, no gain.” While in some circumstances that may inspire you to grow, in other circumstances you may completely resist it. Hallie, as she shares on today’s podcast, has been giving this question a lot of thought. Here’s the dilemma in her own words:
“In the personal growth and business worlds you often hear that in order to grow, you have to get out of your comfort zone. I see the value in that. And at a certain point, sometimes getting out of your comfort zone can begin to feel inauthentic to who you are. So how do you know when is the right time to get out of your comfort zone and when to pass on a growth opportunity because you’re being true to yourself?”
It’s an awesome question and, as always, we get to the root of the issue. If you’ve ever struggled with knowing when to push yourself outside of your comfort zone and when not to, then this episode is for you.
