I often talk about coaching as an investment in yourself. You're investing time, energy, and resources into building the kind of life you want.
But I've been thinking lately about another kind of investment--welcoming others’ investment in you.
Comfort Zones, Learning Zones
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about comfort zones.
The pandemic forced most of us to stay in our comfort zones a good part of the time. We weren’t visiting new places, meeting new people, or taking on new challenges to the same degree as before. But as I talk with clients and friends and loved ones, I keep hearing things like, “I don’t think I want to leave my Covid bubble. I’m going to stay in my comfort zone.” As we feel our way into living with a new endemic disease, some people are finding themselves reluctant to break out of their comfort zones at all. I get that, but I worry that this path could be dangerous for our long-term well-being.
