Imagine for a moment that you are sitting comfortably inside your comfort zone. You are surrounded by all of the things you know and trust, doing the things you’ve always done, working with the people you’ve always worked with and telling yourself the stories you’ve always told yourself. You’re Dorothy in Kansas before the cyclone.
Be careful though. Your comfort zone is like a soft little cloud. It’s comfortable and safe – too comfortable and too safe. The amygdala is the part of our brain which prevents us from doing strange, new things which will have unknown results and consequences. The problem is that when we listen to it too closely, we never give ourselves the opportunity reach our infinite possibility – all the things you could be and all the things you could become, including your ultimate success as an artist.
