We all have our comfort zones – probably lots of them! Conversely, there are many things that make us feel uncomfortable (and sometimes, very uncomfortable). These can affect anything from the types of foods we eat and the way we interact with each other in our day to day lives to the way we work and the type of environments we prefer to work in.
What those comfort zones are varies dramatically from one person to another, but what isn’t in doubt is that although some can help us, some will hinder us – sometimes massively.
So why do we have comfort zones? And how can we make use of them to improve the way we do things?
