The Fear of Change: Most people find it difficult to consciously change or to deal with externally induced change because of the structure of our brain. The limbic system has a much greater influence on our behavior than most people are aware of. If only our intellect was responsible for it, then we would simply achieve whatever we set out to do. The limbic system wants to give us the security of survival. Therefore it learns strategies that work and applies these again and again. This leads to the fact that the limbic system leads us to continue to behave as we have behaved so far.
You are a Zoo Tiger: The comfort zone is the feel good area: This is where your habits and routines are at home and your life follows a certain course. Where you look good.
Why you chose to zoo tiger. You want all the juicy fruits of the change, but your limbic system provides you with excuses and limiting believes about what you can’t do or can’t learn. You tell yourself stories that stem from the fear of looking bad, fear of rejection, fear of failure, the fear of trying something new.
The wild is your growth zone. Here you are faced with problems, challenges, obstacles, but this is where change happens.
