Do you challenge yourself often?

I mean going out of your comfort zone; reaching new heights, trying new things, working beyond your limits, anything.

I try to challenge myself constantly. Lately, though, I've lost motivation. I don't see the point of improving anything further. Even though I most certainly don't have everything there is, I feel I have everything I need. I've gotten used to myself, my situation and the people around me. I work really hard, but I'm not really feeling it.

I get a little afraid when this happens, I'm afraid of getting stuck and losing what I already have.

To an unhealthy amount.

"I mean going out of your comfort zone; reaching new heights, trying new things, working beyond your limits, anything."

I try to break myself and test how far my tolerances range on potential problems. If I break once, I continue to keep breaking myself until I'm hardened. 

"I feel I have everything I need. I've gotten used to myself, my situation and the people around me."

Complacency kills. It may not be apparent but conflict will come, better to just push through the feeling and keep preparing. In a ways I see that as a challenge in itself. But yeah I know the feeling you're talking about, when nothing needs beaten or anything achieved. You not only stop preparing but start rolling down the hill of progress, which will make you lose grasp of what you have.

Fear facing and self-tempering are the usual range for it. I challenge myself for the sake of status quo comforts, challenging my lack of comfort in a comfort zone so that I can later be that much more comfortable. I tend to challenge others more these days than myself, at least consistently.

I used to be like this, especially when I was a teenager...Lots of expectations and achievements. Nevertheless, it required a lot of effort to keep myself satisfied in this aspect, 

I gave up, finally. Not sure why I did it...
