You have three zones:
Inner green area is your comfort zone. When you’re acting within your comfort zone things feel pretty chill. You’re also not growing.
Outer red area is your panic zone. This is where you go into total fight/flight/freeze mode… struggle to cope… not thinking straight… maybe panic attacks.
That yellow region in between the two is your stretch zone.
That zone is the sweet spot for growth. When you’re acting in there, things are feeling just a little bit uncomfortable, and that’s where all your growth happens.
