1. Start formulating your goal

At this stage it is not necessary to go into great detail about this goal.

The comfort zone is the area between the boundaries between what we know we do well and are familiar with and what is unfamiliar and challenging to adapt to.

Having a rough idea of what it is in our case and what kind of experiences and skills it includes is essential to improve ourselves and boost our personal development.

If you do not think specifically about this, you will tend to lower your expectations and, by inertia, your goal will be closer and closer to the mastery of those things you already know you are capable of doing without any problem, because you have done them before. But what it is all about is improving your results or making a qualitative leap in what you do, either because you have never done anything like it before or because it involves taking on a very significant challenge for you in those things you are good at.
