I was thinking about fitness and plateau the other day; when we do the same routine over and over, our bodies get used to it and plateaus. Our bodies become efficient and thus doesn’t need to work as hard. Mixing in unexpected things, be it a different workout, terrain, or food, gets our body out of our comfort zone and it has to engage more than usual. It’s not about changing OUT things, but challenging your body with something different. .

I drew a parallel with this and the creative process. When we keep shooting the same thing over and over, or designing the same thing over and over, we become efficient at it. Efficiency is good! But nothing new will come from your comfort zone. And for some, that’s ok! But if you want growth, you have to step out and be uncomfortable. .
