Usually we all operate from within our Comfort Zone - a self imposed boundary outside of which we feel uncomfortable. Let's say that the circle in the diagram shown is the boundary of “where we feel comfortable”. Outside

uncomfortable, inside comfortable. An example may be public speaking. The image of ourselves could be as a poor public speaker and therefore our comfort zone is inside the circle. Outside the circle represents public speaking, an area of challenge which is new to us. The boundary of the circle is the wall of fear or block or doubt about our own abilities.

When we challenge this boundary and go through the “fear” into the unknown, we are in the area of new learning – an area of stress, tension and anxiety where we can make mistakes.

Is it OK to make mistakes? Sure it is, that's how we learn. Other situations could involve a new job, meeting new people, or driving your car in a new suburb. Once you've gone outside your Comfort Zone a few times you feel more comfortable and so you have extended your comfort zone.

I am going to be able to show you a wonderful non stressful way of increasing your Comfort Zone, staying in your Comfort Zone yet easily extending your learning and feeling good about yourself. In fact that's my responsibility with this book: “To take you into new areas of learning”.
