To most people, a comfort zone is a place where they feel at ease psychologically because they are not being tested. Inside the comfort zone, people do not typically engage in new experiences or take on any challenges. They only participate in activities that are familiar, making them feel in control of their environment. Most people want to progress out of the zone but are held back by fear, they ask themselves questions like, “what if I fail and lose everything?” So, they remain in the same spot, stuck as prisoners of their own fears.
