In this podcast, Hilary Saxton delves into the concept of comfort zones and their influence on personal growth. Comfort zones are the familiar, safe spaces we often remain in, preventing us from reaching our full potential. Our upbringing and early experiences shape these zones, making us hesitant to try new things. Hilary encourages listeners to identify what they are holding back from, emphasising that stepping out of their comfort zones can lead to significant personal development and a more fulfilling life. Likening it to expanding a hula hoop, the idea is to occasionally venture into the larger, growth-focused circle, and then return, with each venture expanding our original comfort boundary. Drawing from personal anecdotes, like starting the podcast and writing a book, Hilary illustrates the importance of challenging oneself and investing in personal growth. Central to this discussion is the concept of shifting from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset, asking "How can I do this?" and re-evaluating daily routines to prioritise growth. By confronting and altering established routines, even if it means letting go of familiar comforts, one can unlock boundless potential and achieve amazing things!
