BREAKING THE COMFORT ZONE

BREAKING THE COMFORT ZONE OF THOUGHTS FOR A BETTER/HEALTHIER(for mind and body)/ECO-FRIENDLY LIFE

We mostly think remaining in our comfort zones. This comfort zone can be imagined to be like a box with five sides which are:

1. Our likes/dislikes which make our attitude

2. Our perceptions regarding pain/pleasure.

3. Our beliefs based on past experiences.

4. Our prejudices about a person/thing.

5. Our assumptions/limitations.

So for a thought/view/attitude/perspective/opinion to enter/entertain our mind box, it has to first confront these five, ever-vigilant security guards which is definitely not an easy job. So what is the way out, how to deal with this big five? 

You can use suspension of disbelief/ methods of make-belief used in movies. You can hire impressive vehicles to popularize your ideas like celebrities/models/people having great voice/people perceived as successful in life/methods and techniques - the science and art of communication(drama, marketing etc.). Slowly and steadily, the great walls develop pores, new ideas seep in especially when we are communicating to educated and open minds and things make way for new thoughts, a complete 360 degree shift(a revolution literally), a paradigm change in the thought process. Now the need is to sustain this fresh wave of thoughts, to keep it stable through habits(actions), object-anchors(possessions), company of like-minded people, books, newspapers, TV shows, movies, etc. And things/thoughts/persons/societies change for better, better for all, for healthy minds, bodies, social well being and for the natural environment where we live, grow and flourish.
