Practices that may help

The comfort zone model maps experience into three concentric rings — comfort, growth (or stretch), and panic — and argues that meaningful development happens in the growth ring, where challenge is real but not destabilising. The framework is a clinical heuristic rather than a rigidly studied model; its practical value is in helping people calibrate how much novelty to take on at once. - Keep a zone journal to track boundary movement
