Many a time people will urge you to find your comfort zone. In actual fact it is more a state of mind. It seems to be a harmless bit of advice. But, the dangers are to a certain extent harmful. This is because, ‘comfort zone’ can lead to complacency.
What is complacency: : a self-satisfied wisdom, that you are at the best place that you can be and that there is no real room to improvement, nothing more needs to be discovered or achieved. Complacency is a so called comfortable trap
How to know if you are complacent
- You never feel scared or nervous
People who are complacent don’t enjoy leaving their comfort zone and, therefore, will not to take any risks. A lack of fear and nervousness in your life is usually a solid indicator that you need to take more risks. - You not learning more things
You should be learning something every day: Complacent people normally are satisfied with what they already know or do .Consequently; they will not seek out new information or experiences. - You not challenging yourself enough
Look for something different to do. It’s about pushing yourself to do things. A complacent person will hold back from challenging themselves. - Your have constant routine day in day out.
Having a daily routine can be great, but living every day the same as the one before can is just boring. Complacent people are always comfortable with a routine and never drift away from it. - You feel wedged /dull
Feeling wedged, is something a most people will experience during their lifetime. However, a complacent person won’t try to rise above the rut they’ve found themselves in. - You are predictable
Predictability is a clear indicator that you are getting complacent.
If you have more than 3 of these qualities, in my opinion you becoming complacent. So try to do something different. Feel like you can.
