I was recently asked this question.
‘How do you go far and beyond your comfort zone?“
My answer.
“One step at a time.’
Here’s the thing, you don’t notice how far you have travelled until you look back and see where you were.
Each time you push the edge of the envelope it doesn’t take long before you find yourself in a place that feels comfortable again. The edge expands and you slide into it each time. Also, when you push outside of your comfort zone consistently, you can find yourself familiar with spending more time there. The unknown, the fear of making mistakes, whatever it was that held you back, stops feeling as uncomfortable as it once did. You start to appreciate that the reason that space felt uncomfortable was because you were just used to staying comfortable – and what you thought was discomfort was generally more your anticipation of the discomfort of the effort you needed to put in – not the outcome that was on the other side. Which is generally something akin to growth.
There is no reason why you should leave your comfort zone either. If you are happy where you are then why change. But for those who sense there is something more for them, so fuller experience of life, then this might be of use.
If you want something that you perceive is outside your comfort zone, do it.
Allow yourself to make mistakes and take it one step at a time!
