Your comfort zone should come with a government health warning.
A public service announcement should be fixed on the borders of your safe haven.
What should it say?

Stay still and get eaten for lunch.

Can you imagine a large circular wall around you? Imagine it is very tall, with no gates or windows, and no one else can see it at first glance; posters and graffiti are plastered all over the inside.
A hideout, place of shelter, safe-house, safe-haven, hideaway… but away from what?

This refuge is the outer limit of your fear zone. Outside those walls is the unknown… and, man, that is a scary, scary, place. It’s a behavioral no-go zone: your imagination is not even allowed to entertain thoughts of venturing out into these badlands. Do you remember the old maps with “here be dragons” written on them to denote, not dragons literally, but areas of unknown unexplored spaces?
