Erik Michielsen: What is your comfort zone and what do you do to break free of living in it?

Hammans Stallings: Well, I think like all good yoga instructors, you know, you wanna breath into it, you know, that means kind of knowing what your boundaries are and having the self-awareness to know when you've kind of entered a position whether it's professionally or in terms of interpersonal relations, which you feel a little bit of, you know, an anxiety or nervousness or fear. I think those are all important things to have in your life. You know, if you don't have those things in your life, you're not really human. There are important ways to learn about environment and to learn from your, your past and your experience, but being able to operate and depersonalize those is also very important, maybe the most critical thing is overcoming those things. So, you're not really brave if you're not experiencing fear. You don't want to necessarily drown it out. It's a matter of kind of working with it to sort of amp you up, to motivate you for, you know, preparing for a future or for evolving as a person. So, there's also a certain amount of – you gotta understand, how much capacity you have for overcoming it you don't wanna, say, try to do too much. So I think that’s critical, is balancing that, knowing when and how much is – it’s not something that I'm just like perfect at, but it's sort of that -- that's kind of how I think about trying to strike that balance. So, you're constantly, you know, moving up the -- the court as it were and not kind of getting too complacent, but also recognizing it like, you know, you have to, you're gonna -- you're gonna create new fears over time and you'll have to continue to overcome those. So, it's creating a good process around that.
