EAP: Mental Talks: How to Get Out of Our Comfort Zone
Aim:
To introduce the concept of the comfort zone and discuss why it is important to get out of it.
We live in a world where we strive for comfort – a comfortable lifestyle, a good job, making things easier, efficient and predictable. We function on autopilot; we are present but not really here.
But have you ever asked yourself – what would it be to feel more alive, to step out of our comfort zone, to live and not just to exit?
Psychologists define the comfort zone as a state in which things feel familiar to a person and they are at ease and in control of their environment, experiencing low levels of anxiety and stress. However, growth can only happen in a state of discomfort and complexity – something that human beings naturally try to avoid.
So, what if we remove these mental barriers that prevent us from doing something we want and jump into the unknown?
Tasks:
- We will discuss what our own personal comfort zone looks like and if we are aware of it
- We will present some inspiring examples of role models stepping out of their comfort zone
- We will discuss different strategies how to change our mindset into a direction of living out of our comfort zone
Tools:
- Up-to-date presentation of information and research in the field
- Sharing good practices
- Self-reflecting exercises
- Discussion and reflection
Target:
In the planned workshop are invited to participate people from HELECLOUD
