Expand your comfort zone!

Isaac Asimov once stated that "success is 10% farther than 90% of the people are willing to go." Why is it that some people who seem to have little going for themselves attain fantastic success while many talented, bright and articulate people end up at frustrating dead end jobs? Is it luck? Is it fate? Or is it something different that successful people have? Quite simply it is the ability of any person to go the 10% farther than the other 90% are willing to go. What makes it possible for successful people to go that extra mile is their ability to constantly expand their comfort zone. 

Your comfort zone is the limit of things which you feel comfortable doing. You may, for example, feel quite comfortable at doing the technical aspects of your job but very uncomfortable at disagreeing with your supervisor, asking for a raise or proposing a solution that is unique. We all know absolutely brilliant people who know more about their job than anyone else yet seem to stay still while less capable people advance. Or perhaps you have secretly harbored a desire to achieve some dream but never took the steps to see it through. In either case, it is the unwillingness to go beyond our comfort zone, into an area where we do not feel comfortable, that stops us from fulfilling our potential. Even the most successful people in the world have a limit beyond which they feel uncomfortable. The difference is that they are willing to push this envelope and make what is uncomfortable today, comfortable tomorrow. 

Emotions Manager gives you the tools to expand your comfort zone easily and painlessly. If you take the time to examine what it is that makes you feel uncomfortable with doing something, you will invariably find that it is fear or anxiety over something which you envision happening. The imagination can conjure up all sorts of dire consequences to any action. If you plan to ask someone for a date, for example, your mind can imagine all manner of ways in which the person could humiliate you in front of the world. It is not the fear of being told "no" that would make you feel uncomfortable, but the fear of not knowing how you could handle being humiliated in front of the world. With such horrible consequences hanging in the balance you might likely stay within your comfort zone and spend your Saturday evening watching a good movie on cable. But it doesn't have to be that way. The final two questions which you are asked when Resolving an emotion help you to expose the irrationality of such fears and reduce your sense of discomfort. More often than not, simply writing out your worst fears takes away the sting. As you begin to write it out, you will see that the possibility or probability of the fear coming true is usually very slim. In addition, by writing them out you're building a library of your fears. You can later scroll through them to see patterns of common fears and search for their causes. (see Eliminating emotional blocks below). There are, of course, times when your fears may be rational. If you messed up a project at work, for example, there is a possibility that you might be fired. This, however, does not mean that you have to sit there waiting for the shoe to drop. By developing a plan for dealing with your feared consequences, you may often be able to takes steps to correct it before it happens and to prepare to deal with it if it does happen. Once you see that your worst fears are unlikely to come to pass and that you could handle it if they do, you will find it easy to venture past your comfort zone. This too is a skill which Emotions Manager helps you to develop. Each time you expand your comfort zone it will be easier and easier to do it again. Before you know it, virtually nothing that you want to do will be so uncomfortable that you will not be willing to take it on.

Stack the odds in your favor when trying to break a bad habit or form a good one!

There are literally thousands of books, tapes and seminars to help you break bad habits or rid yourself of addictions. The vast majority of these books are based on sound advice and offer much insight into the why and how to break a bad habit or addiction. Too often, however, they lack an effective tool for maintaining the consistent progress over a long period of time which it takes to break deeply entrenched habits or addictions. 

Emotions Manager provides that tool and when used in conjunction with sound books, tapes or seminars it can be a powerful ally in bringing permanent change to your life. You may, for example, have tried many times with many different methods to stop smoking. If what you tried didn't work, however, the book or tape most likely ended up in the garbage and you went back to smoking more convinced that you can not stop than before you tried. With Emotions Manager no attempt is ever a waste or failure and every new attempt is more likely to succeed then the last. To begin with, Emotions Manager helps you to discover the strongest force you have to face in breaking habits and addictions - irrational thoughts and emotions. If you've tried to stop smoking, for example, you were undoubtedly flooded with intense emotions. You may have been overly edgy, unable to concentrate and lashed out at those around you. While nicotine withdrawal can account for some of these symptoms, it only takes a short time to remove the nicotine from your system. What causes the emotions even long after you have stopped is that for a long time you have handled uncomfortable situations, thoughts or feelings with your addiction. With Emotions Manager you can learn to deal with these uncomfortable situations, thoughts and feeling rationally and realistically. You will be able to Resolve them instead of hiding behind an addiction. Moreover, every attempt you make at breaking a bad habit or addiction will make it more likely that you will succeed the next time. Because your experiences, and especially your Positive Views will be saved in the Arena of "Bad Habits", you will have a detailed history to draw upon every time you make an attempt. This will include not only such things as how rationally to look at specific events or emotions but putting together a game plan for setbacks and storing the helpful suggestions from any books or tapes that you've used. Each attempt becomes a success because you are progressing towards the day that you will forever make the change you want. And that day will come as long as you keep trying.
