The comfort zone is a mental space you go to where you are safe, at ease, anxiety neutral, and usually without a sense of risk. So what does this have to do with being an artist? This week on Thriving Women Artists, Ping, Sarah, and Dorien will discuss when you need to leave your comfort zone, how they can go in cycles, and their own unique tips and experience on growth.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- In certain moments you need to be in a comfort zone to do repetitive work when you need to, but if you're not taking risks then you are limiting yourself as an artist.
- It can be scary to go out of your comfort zone, we feel this way in all walks of life not just in art. It can be tied to fear, rejection, and confidence.
- You can go into a cycle, going in and out of comfort zones when those things you once found scary become comfortable. Then you go onto the next new scary thing.
- Comfort zones are personal to each individual, we all have different areas where we don't feel as confident or feel scared.
- When Sarah filmed her Domestika course she was in a country where she didn't speak the language, doing something she's never done before, feeling overwhelmed by what she had to do. At the time she thought it was too far out of her comfort zone. But Sarah got through it and feels like she's grown a lot from the experience.
- Chasing something too far away can make you retreat to your comfort zone. Remember to test yourself but don't take that huge step all at once. It stops being the growing edge at that point. Take a step out of your comfort zone, but make sure it's the right size step for you.
