Strategies to Get out of Your Comfort Zone part 2

1- Make small changes to your daily habits.

Freshen up your routine to avoid staying in a rut. Take baby steps at first and change just one or two things about your daily routine every single day. Stepping out of your comfort zone is all about continuing to move and not allowing yourself to get settled too deeply into one specific habit. Once you've made stepping out of your comfort zone into a daily routine, it'll be much easier to handle bigger challenges in the future.

  • For example, try new foods, go to a new grocery store instead of your usual shop, or listen to a different genre of music. Every day is a chance to learn something new.

 

2- Look for completely new experiences.

Take risks to find new passions and interests. You’ll never know if you enjoy something until you take a leap of faith and try it. While this can certainly be a nerve-wracking thought, putting yourself out there and making an effort to try new things or learn something new can be extremely rewarding. Think about things you’ve always wanted to try, or make a bucket list and slowly work to cross off items one at a time.

  • For example, try out a new sport, sign up for a class that sounds interesting, travel to a new city or country, or make an effort to make new friends.
  • It’s okay to break up these experiences into smaller steps. For example, if you want to try writing and publishing a short story to step out of your comfort zone, start by writing 500 words a day to get into the flow of writing.

 

3- Change your environment to help you grow.

Get rid of things that’ll give you an excuse to not try something. For example, if your goal is to socialize with more people, turn off your phone when you go to a party or gathering so you won’t be tempted to use it as a distraction. Your environment can hinder or help your progress, so do what you can to optimize it to guarantee success.

  • Another example would be prepping your gym bag the night before if your goal is to work out every morning. This reduces the amount of work you have to do in the morning, so there’s no excuse not to head to the gym once you get up.

 

4- Reward yourself for trying new things.

Treat yourself to stay motivated and energized. For example, whenever you do something that’s out of your comfort zone, buy yourself a small treat, take yourself out to a nice meal, or spend time doing other activities that you enjoy. This will give you some more incentive to step out and try new things.

  • For example, each time you step out of your comfort zone and talk to a new person, you might reward yourself with reading a chapter of a book you love.

 

5- Minimize your discomfort to gain courage.

Incorporate things that are familiar to you during new situations. Find small ways to tweak the situation and make it more palatable for yourself. For example, if you’re nervous about speaking to new people, steer the conversation toward a topic you’re passionate about to make it more enjoyable and engaging for yourself. Instead of just abandoning the challenge altogether, come up with ways to make it more manageable and less scary.

  • As another example, if talking to big groups in large, noisy settings makes you uneasy, find a quieter place to talk to eliminate one of the things that makes you uncomfortable.

 

6- Let yourself make mistakes.

Remind yourself that it’s okay not to be perfect right away. Fear of failure keeps a lot of people from stepping out of their comfort zones, but it’s important to remember that making mistakes is what makes you human. When it comes down to it, learning from your mistakes is ultimately how you get better and grow.

  • Instead of berating yourself for doing something wrong, be sure to point out the things you did well and compliment yourself on your accomplishments, no matter how small.
