Comfort Zone

The comfort zone is a psychological state in which individuals feel safe. It fulfills our need for certainty, one of the most powerful Six Human Needs. When we're in our comfort zone, we know what to expect and we know how to react. We feel that we have some control over the situation.

• The Comfort Zone: where what you do is routine and familiar. 
• The Learning Zone (or Growth Zone): where you experiment, develop skills and stretch your abilities. 
• The Panic Zone: where you're tasked with learning something that is well beyond your knowledge, causing you to feel overwhelming and panicked.
