Stress, Recovery, and Getting out of your Comfort Zone

Get and stay out of your comfort zone, we sometimes have to realize that if we stay in our comfort zone we cannot and will not grow. So it’s a good thing with a good amount of recovery to step out of our comfort zone and experience something hard or new. The best example of this is when a body builder wants to get bigger they go to the gym and lift weights. They actually stress the muscle and tear it down so that the muscle can rebuild and be stronger next time. It’s the same in all aspects of our life, if its spiritual, mental, or even emotional.

If you want to grow you have to get out of your comfort zone.

If a body builder decided that every time he felt pain when things were getting hard and would stop when he felt stress he would never get anywhere. So the point is that sometimes stress is good, but only if you give yourself sufficient amount of time to recover and build your capacity next time. If you keep tearing your muscle down you will not allow yourself to grow. So stress and recovery are vital with stepping out of your comfort zone.
