Deep dives

The Role of Discomfort in Building Confidence

Confidence stems from taking action outside of one’s comfort zone rather than from feeling comfortable. Engaging in challenging situations forces individuals to confront and overcome their fears, which ultimately builds self-assurance. When faced with discomfort, individuals can cultivate a 'stretch zone' mentality, allowing them to learn and grow through their experiences. This continual engagement with discomfort lays the groundwork for enhanced confidence, making it essential for peak performance.
