I think we're so used to habitually avoiding the edges that many of us perceive our comfort zones to be much smaller than they actually are.

the meta-comfort zone

i thought about this sort of thing a lot because we ran a "comfort zone expansion" class as part of CFAR workshops. eventually came to the conclusion that the object-level comfort zone (activities) was way less important than the meta-level comfort zone (internal states)

Nice - I guess in that frame what I'm thinking is when you end up with "pushing up against the edges fo your comfort zone" outside your meta-comfort zone, your object-comfort zone might actually shrink (gradually but potentially continually)

That’s interesting. What did that imply in practice?
That instead of focusing on your skill at the activity, you should focus on how it makes you feel?
Feel like I’m off a bit tho 🤔.
