Read this book if you want a better life without the cost of burnout!” But this zone is really just burnout. It is a place where living itself has become a chore, and even getting out of bed is too much. This is where the body and mind retreat when the stress of survival mode becomes unbearable. But it, too, is unsustainable, because life in this zone has no joy, no peace, and no growth. It’s neither living nor surviving, just … existing.

You’ll completely ignore the fact that this belief is actually chaining you to discomfort, anxiety, and stress.

And beliefs matter more than you may think. The human brain believes things, like messages it hears from parents, teachers, religious leaders, media, or peers, and then actively looks for evidence to support those beliefs. The idea that experience determines your beliefs is actually false. Called confirmation bias by English psychologist Peter Wason, it's an all-too-human tendency to ignore evidence that contradicts one’s beliefs, and unconsciously seek confirmation of them instead. That’s why the first step in finding your comfort zone is to seek out beliefs like this and start to challenge their implicit messages. If you’ve internalized the idea that your self-worth is tied to your achievements, you may feel compelled to keep pushing yourself as a way of life. That’s a recipe for burnout and exhaustion, and for denying yourself the love and compassion you so richly deserve just for being you. The Three Zones of Living —Complacent, Survival, and Comfort—and what determines which one you are living in right nowBy forsaking joy in pursuit of growth, you forget that growth should make you feel alive, and that when you reach your goals, you should feel energized, even exhilarated, not exhausted and burned out.” Remember the fable of the tortoise and the hare?

Beliefs are our brain’s way of making sense of and explaining the world around us. They originate from our environment and the events we live through, but at the end of the day, every belief originates with a choice.” If you’re not in your comfort zone right now, feeling authentic and fulfilled with life, you may be experiencing another zone of living that is far less pleasant. So let’s take a closer look at the three zones of living, to understand why choosing the comfortable one makes real sense. Confronting these negative feelings takes courage. But like the tortoise, courage is much easier when you can feel at home in whatever circumstances you happen to be. Living in the safety and certainty of your comfort zone means fully accepting that everything you are right now, already, is enough. It also means resisting the temptation to abandon yourself just to cross some imaginary finish line a little faster. Those in the survival zone likely feel exhausted by all this effort, and recognize that it is unsustainable. Sadly, instead of seeking comfort again, they may actually push themselves even farther away — to the complacent zone. A lot of workaholics linger in the survival zone, and they may even be admired for their work ethic. But driving all of this effort is a layer of fear – fear that goals are out of reach, that being themselves isn’t enough, that their achievements don’t measure up to those of others.
