expand your comfort zone more naturally

Hey friends! In this video, I discuss the popular notion of pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones to foster personal growth, especially within fitness circles. While discomfort can drive adaptation and growth, it may only be part of the equation. I discuss "experiential introspection" and illustrate it with the parable of the Stone Cutter's Tale. The story highlights the importance of not just trying new things but also reflecting on these experiences-repeated as a cycle-to truly understand and expand one's comfort zone.
Through the stone cutter's transformative journey-becoming a merchant, king, sun, cloud, wind, and finally, a mountain-I discuss the themes of contentment, self-discovery, and the selective embracing and rejection of new experiences. It's important not just to push ourselves, but to also introspect and determine what truly aligns with our passions and values.

Thank you so much for making this stuff. have been finding your Coffee With Hampton Series particularly comforting these last few days, helping me expel my pessimistic attitude and enjoy life. It's going to be a long Journey, but as long as you keep releasing these, I'm confident I'll eventually reach my destination. Thanks for everything Hampton :)

Really helps with anxiety. When you KNOW you can be doing more/taking more risks/etc, but are held back, it causes a lot of shame. It's so motivating to know that it's okay to not have to go against the grain 24/7 and you can take your time to find out who you are and what you want. Btw, you are one of my favorite people, Hampton ❤

i loved the tale and it's a very important lesson, looking forward to your book mate.
i've been following your fitness guide since 2022 and you are the one who taught me how to work out with calisthenics.
and you're one of the few who remain true to their values and authenticity. other creators nowdays change their values just to optimise for monetising their audience, but you're different

Really really loved this. I'm at an age where I'm learning these sorts of lessons, and hearing someone articulate it so beautifully (loved the parable as well), was wonderful.

Awww thank you Hampton ! I love your story telling ! That was so interesting !
I like trying new things, but sometimes I feel I don’t have the energy or motivation, being too caught up with my life and routine (even running away from what I should do, because lack of energy inside me). I will think about your tale of the stone cutter, growing through experiencing life and trying new things.
Thank you !
