Other Implications
An example of stepping out of the comfort zone could be a recognized need to leave an unsatisfactory job but the fear of doing so as it would result in losing the sense of security the individual derives from the job. The sense of security the individual perceives could be attributed to the mental conditioning formed initially. This example highlights an example of a professional challenge. Research by WhatisMyComfortZone suggests that challenges that are commonly outside of one's comfort zone can be categorised as either professional, adrenaline, or lifestyle.
A comfort zone may result when the mental concept that a person has about something and the actual reality of it are not congruent with one another. A classic example to take would be of self image.
Self-image may consist of three types:
- Self image resulting from how the individual sees himself or herself
- Self image resulting from how others see the individual
- Self image resulting from how the individual perceives others see him or her
These three types may or may not be an accurate representation of the person. All, some, or none of them may be true.

Famous quotes containing the word implications:
“Philosophical questions are not by their nature insoluble. They are, indeed, radically different from scientific questions, because they concern the implications and other interrelations of ideas, not the order of physical events; their answers are interpretations instead of factual reports, and their function is to increase not our knowledge of nature, but our understanding of what we know.”
—Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)
“When it had long since outgrown his purely medical implications and become a world movement which penetrated into every field of science and every domain of the intellect: literature, the history of art, religion and prehistory; mythology, folklore, pedagogy, and what not.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
