Is Your Comfort Zone Holding You Back? Wisdom from Nani Ji and Vishal Vijay Singh
Have you ever felt like you’re living life on "autopilot"? You’re safe, you’re secure, but deep down, you feel like you aren’t moving forward. This is the "Comfort Zone"—a beautiful place where nothing ever grows. In the latest episode of the Nani Ji podcast on Radio Haanji 1674 AM, host Vishal Vijay Singh sat down with the beloved Dr. Harpreet Shergill (affectionately known as Nani Ji) to peel back the layers of this psychological barrier.
As Australia’s number one Indian radio station, we know that for our diaspora in Melbourne, Sydney, and beyond, "comfort" often feels like a necessity after the struggle of migration. However, as Dr. Shergill beautifully explained, staying in that comfort too long can lead to stagnation.
The Four Stages of Growth
During the discussion, Nani Ji highlighted that moving away from what is familiar involves a journey through four distinct zones:
-
The Comfort Zone: Where you feel safe and in control.
-
The Fear Zone: Where you find excuses and lack self-confidence.
-
The Learning Zone: Where you acquire new skills and deal with challenges.
-
The Growth Zone: Where you find purpose, live your dreams, and set new goals.
"Growth doesn't happen overnight," shared Dr. Harpreet Shergill. "It happens in the small, uncomfortable moments where you decide to choose courage over the couch."
Why It Matters for Our Community
Living in a new country like Australia often forces us into a "survival mode" comfort zone. We stick to what we know—the same social circles, the same routines—because the outside feels risky. Vishal Vijay Singh pointed out that while this protects us initially, it eventually stops us from truly integrating and thriving in our new home.
Whether it's learning a new skill, speaking up in a meeting, or simply trying something that scares you, breaking the cycle is essential for mental well-being. This episode was a heartfelt reminder that our roots give us the strength to branch out, not just stay firmly in the same spot.
How to Step Out Today
If you missed the live broadcast, here are three takeaway tips from the show to help you expand your horizons:
-
Acknowledge the Fear: Don't run from it. Name what makes you uncomfortable.
-
Take "Micro-Risks": You don't have to change your life in a day. Start with one small thing outside your routine.
-
Find Your 'Why': Purpose is the strongest engine to pull you out of comfort.
