It’s alright to be in your comfort zone, we all want to be in the safest place, OUR ZONE. A place where you dwell without limitations or boundaries, you are so used to that routine and its requirement that you achieve optimum bliss from within. However, do you know that staying there for long could result in you feeling caged and living your life in a box? By nature we all are wild creatures by default so why follow that path of limiting yourself.

Back in the days, having malaria parasites was a death sentence with a 0% chance of survival which led to the death of many individuals and missionaries who came to Africa. This was because Malaria and Tuberculosis were terminal illnesses as at that time without any concrete cure.

Below are some ways and lifestyle changes that could help reduce the possibility of living a life filled with limitations and restrictions which in turn could stall your growth process.

Induce your thoughts with the right belief

This involves living your life with the right belief and not channeling your thoughts based on the limitations and thinkings of other people. Doing so might mean you sabotaging and creating unnecessary restrictions to your stream of thoughts.

All you need is the right mind frame and thoughts to further tap into your hidden potentials.
