I use a similar model created by the Fearless Living Institute. Comfort Zone is still in the middle, and the next three levels are stretch, risk, and die. Each greater movement one takes from the comfort zone becomes scarier to do – and yet that is where we want to move to. The less scary the outer zone is, the bigger our comfort zone becomes. It’s called the die zone because our old habits, behaviors, and thoughts begin to die.
Thanks Mark!

The best way to get really fit and strong, true balanced development, is concentrate on all the exercises you are weak in, and dread. I notice it regularly, ie, people with great chests, weak backs, focusing on chest, shunning back work, guys with great arms, weak legs, focusing on arms, minimum leg work, etc, etc, etc.

The irony is, when you focus on the exercises you are weak in, you soon become strong in them, and love them.

That isn’t to say you should ignore your strong points, but for a while it is extremely beneficial to put most focus on weak points. And the ‘horrible’ result? True, all round development, real, deep confidence. Nothing to hide.

The stumbling block is fear and ego.

That’s cool. We specialize in different areas but are willing to grow and learn more, that’s the key. Congrats on the diet success.

In our heart, spirit, body, and mind.

Funny coincidence, I am a technical person and have a ton of experience working with websites, hosting, etc. but I am learning everything I can about nutrition and strength training– expanding my comfort zone. You have been a great resource and the MANS diet has been working great for me.

Thanks man,
Tim Symchych

Good to see you experimenting with nutrition, all the best with it.
Congrats on the job, big opportunity for growth and fulfillment there.
Well done,
Mark

Having the mentality to tackle challenges is key to having a fulfilling life. They provide meaning and engender growth. By the way, the diet is going great; it’s more of a hybrid between the the two diets you’ve discussed, I just don’t eat carbs past 2pm and they are all low glycemic. I just started a dual masters program and got hired to teach History at a local high school- this post is what I needed!!! Synchronicity is amazing, and seems to happen when the goals of your mind match the work of your body/behavior.
Thanks again and please keep up the good work!

@ Dave. Yes I’ve heard that before too. We tend to think that the grass is greener on the other side. Sometimes it takes us to go there to realize how good we had it in the first place.

And to grow’ that’s the way to go!
