Why too much comfort is actually bad for you?

=Thread=
Yes! Exercise is hard, fast food feels good, and learning a new skill unlike watching Netflix takes effort.

You love your comfort zone. You do anything to expand it. It makes you feel safe, secure, and well… cozy!
But, have you ever thought that too much comfort is actually harmful to your long-term health and happiness?
Have you ever thought that being comfortable is always what gets in the way between you and what you need?
You remain in a bad relationship because of comfort.

You remain in a bad body shape because of comfort.

You remain in a bad or average financial situation because of comfort.
REMAIN is the word for comfort because “nothing changes if nothing changes.”

You are making yourself comfortable in your own unhappiness.

The more comfort you chase, the more uncomfortable you will be on the inside.
Here are some facts about watching too much TV:

- It makes you lazy
- It spoils your mind with too much violence and fake news
- It makes your pockets empty with increasing consumerism
- It creates health problems (obesity, bad sleep…)
We aren’t designed to be so. What our brains and bodies want isn’t comfort. It’s engagement.

Experiences make us far happier than chilling all the time.

Experiences are real exhilaration and also have better long-term benefits.
Life is unpredictable. You never know what’s going to happen next. So you always need to be ready to change.

- Learn new skills
- Expand your network
- Experience new feelings
- Read good books
This is so obvious yet overlooked by most of society.

And that’s why

“I probably read 1-2 hours a day, and that puts me in the top .00001%. I think that alone accounts for any material success that I’ve had in my life and any intelligence that I might have.”
Promoting the belief of personal comfort has made such a fat, lazy and depressed society out of us that with a little push, you’ll see yourself in the top 1%.
So you get the idea now.

How can you be happy if you spend your life repeating the same things over and over again?

The truth is you can’t. So go do something outside of your comfort zone and feel the power.
- Get rid of those bad habits

- Lose extra fat and gain some new muscle

- Leave porn and social media addictions

- Build your discipline, self-control, and emotional control

Be a superhuman.
