Out of Your Comfort Zone

Our brain needs challenges and must be placed in unfamiliar situations in order to grow.

This is why stepping out of one’s comfort zone is one of the keys to making progress.

It means trying things we’re not used to, learning new ideas or concepts we aren’t familiar with, or pushing our body to exercise when we’d rather crash on the couch, binge-watching series or playing games.

Of course, there’s a balance to keep in mind, as our brain also needs rest in order to grow!

We only have a few hours to use each day of our lives.

How we choose to spend them is entirely up to us.

And for those who may have the luxury of truly being able to choose, let’s try to remember: the more choices you have, the more responsibility you carry.

    Each Esper saw the world in a different way. But the reality of the physical world in which they all lived was, indeed, shared by all. In this context, some Espers were more aware of their vision of the world and of how closely it reflected reality. Children, who were born without any knowledge, could…

    The Espers throughout the world had the unfortunate tendency to think of themselves as the center of the world. And with good reason, each one was truly the main character of their own story, so how could they be blamed for putting their choices or their own well-being and comfort first? But sometimes, or even…

    Before the Chaos War, Esperia had never been so divided over matters that, nevertheless, had previously been understood among the five elemental lands. Tensions were rising, trust was at its lowest, between the elements, but also within some of the lands themselves. Inequalities continued to grow between the winners of an exacerbated globalization and those…

    The civilization of the Espers before the Chaos War had gradually become accustomed to having everything done almost instantly. Waiting was becoming unbearable for many of them, and a long-term perspective seemed like nothing more than a vague memory of the past. Now that the StarDust was better understood, however, it seemed obvious that investing…

    The development of the civilization of the Espers, greatly accelerated by the use of magic for decades, had gradually distanced them from reality. The reality of a physical world with limited resources, shared by everyone. Some indeed believed that by blaming the other elemental regions, or by choosing not to get their own hands dirty…
