Leveling Up Your Comfort Zones Game (Teen Edition)

Hey awesome humans,

Last time, we talked about comfort zones and kids, and how to help them break free from their fears and limitations. Today, we’re going to talk about comfort zones and teens, and how to make them understand and embrace this concept.

You see, comfort zones are not something that only adults have. Teens have them too, and they can be even more tricky and tricky to deal with. Why? Because teens are going through a lot of changes and challenges in their lives, and they need to find their own identity and place in the world.

But don’t worry, comfort zones are not rocket science. You don’t need a PhD to explain them to your teen. You just need to use the right language that speaks to them, and that’s what I’m going to show you in this 3 min episode.

So, buckle up and get ready to level up your comfort zone, whether you’re a parent of a teen, or you want to introduce this to your teen.

Let’s go! 🚀

Hey there, awesome listeners! Welcome back to our podcast, where we’re all about living our best lives!

Today’s topic is all about comfort zones and how they relate to teens. You know, being a teenager can be quite a rollercoaster with all the challenges and changes we face. Sometimes we’re feeling on top of the world, while other times, we’re just not so sure how we feel about things, and that can affect how we act and what we do.

But fear not! I’ve got a fun and easy activity that can help us deal with those feelings and live our best lives. It’s called the game of comfort zones, and it’s a fantastic way to explore and expand our comfort zones in a cool and exciting way.

First off, let me explain what comfort zones are and why they matter. Comfort zones are like mental and emotional bubbles where we feel safe and comfortable. They shield us from stress and anxiety, but not all comfort zones are created equal. There are the fake ones and the real ones.

The fake comfort zone is where we stay because of fear, self-doubt, or limiting beliefs. It’s where we avoid challenges and new experiences, and it holds us back from growing and being truly happy.

On the other hand, the real comfort zone is where we feel confident, empowered, and fulfilled. It’s where we embrace challenges, learn from our mistakes, and accept ourselves with all our imperfections. This is the zone where we can be ourselves without fear and can step out to try new things without holding back.

So, how do we tell the difference between the fake and the real comfort zones? And go from one to the other? That’s where the game comes in!

Here’s how it works:

1.   Create your character: Give your character a name that represents the brave and adventurous side of you. This character will be you in the game.

2.   Set the scene: Imagine a world where your character faces various challenges related to your comfort zones. It could be anything from public speaking to trying a new hobby.

3.   Play it out: Put yourself in your character’s shoes and start playing out the scenarios. Take note of what’s holding you back and what obstacles you encounter.

4.   Explore the real comfort zone: Now, picture your character with the attributes of your real comfort zone. How would they feel and what actions would they take? Imagine yourself confidently facing challenges and achieving amazing things.

5.   Reflect on the experience: After playing out the scenarios, take a moment to think about what you learned about yourself and your comfort zones. How did it feel to embody the attributes of your real comfort zone? Did it inspire you to stretch your boundaries?

6.   Celebrate your progress: Whether it’s a small step or a big breakthrough, pat yourself on the back for your courage and resilience.

By turning comfort zone exploration into a game, you can have fun and gain valuable self-awareness. Remember, this is a safe space for growth and self-discovery.

Before you dive in, consider the resources, friends, family, strengths, values, and beliefs that can support you along the way. You’re not alone in this game; you’ve got a whole team cheering you on!

So, my fellow teen adventurers, are you ready to play the game of comfort zones and discover your true potential? Let’s unleash the power of your real comfort zones and live your best lives! Game on!
