Aikido - Beyond The Comfort Zone
Jun 6th, 2007 by Jason
How often are you taken out of your comfort zone?
Everyone will have their own notion of what I mean by ‘comfort zone’ and that’s ok. It could be having to make a presentation to 1000 people when you have a fear of public speaking, or cycling to work instead of taking the car.
For me, Aikido is the method I use to push myself past my comfort zone.
I don’t just mean the physical aspect either. One’s comfort zone is defined by mindset.
Changing/improving Aikido is one thing - altering your mindset… now that’s a challenge!
Right now, my practice feels like it has plateaued at the edge of my comfort zone and I’m struggling to push past it.
