Your comfort zone is exactly what it sounds
like, places or situations where you feel comfortable in, while there is
nothing wrong with comfort zones in order to expand our potential and succeed
in life we sometimes have to move out of our comfort zone and into unfamiliar
territory. Only by pushing ourselves to do something new or which we are afraid
of can we develop and improve ourselves. The first step to take in venturing
outside of your comfort zone is to decide what it is you wish to change about
yourself or your life, the way you wish to go forward. Make a list of
everything that you want to do or change what you’d like to accomplish, the
places you would like to visit and what it is you want out of life. When you
have determined your goals and objectives you can then take the next step in
making them reality. Here are just some of the ways in which you can step
outside your comfort zone.
Your self-image
How long is it since you last changed your
appearance, for example how long have you had the same hairstyle? You can begin stepping outside your comfort
zone by making changes to your self-image, try a different hairstyle, maybe a
different color, and change the color of your make-up, shave off your beard or
grow one, choose a different style of clothing than you would normally wear or
alter the color. There are many ways which you could make small alterations to
your self-image to give yourself a new look and a new look at life, stop and
think if you are doing everything you possibly can to look and feel your best
and give yourself a confidence boost by making positive changes to your
self-image.
Do something
different
Make it a weekly goal to do something
completely different to what you would normally do; this can be anything just
to get you out of the rut you have put yourself in and to widen your comfort
zone at least one day a week. Start off with making smaller changes at first,
go to a different restaurant for lunch, and order something from the menu which
you have never tried; there are many ways you can make gradual small changes to
your daily life.
Take up a new hobby
Take up a new hobby in life, join a weekly
meeting group such as dieting, a book club or wine tasting, choose something
which is out of character and which will get you meeting new people and going
to new places. Doing something different every week and gaining a new interest
is an excellent way of moving out of your comfort zone.
Meet your fears head
on
Change is always frightening when we first
step out into the unknown, but we can only improve upon ourselves and our lives
by meeting and greeting our fears head on and passing through the fear, once we
have met it head on we find it isn’t so frightening after all. So do something
that scares you every week.
