Hiding inside your comfort zone is a good way to prevent yourself from ever experiencing anything unique, fun or challenging. Pushing past your fears can be tricky, but ultimately, I think it\u2019s what life is about.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting Uncomfortable<\/h2>\n<p>Instead of just cheery, self-help advice I\u2019d like to briefly explain what I mean by stepping outside your comfort zone. To me, becoming uncomfortable means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Challenges outside your skills.<\/li>\n<li>Activities outside your personality.<\/li>\n<li>Experiments that question your beliefs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although becoming uncomfortable can be used for personal challenges as equally as it applies to public ones, most people think of social ventures when they view their comfort zones. Public speaking, talking to strangers or taking up bizarre new hobbies are just a few different examples. Getting uncomfortable happens when the benefits can be high, failure is limited but fears hold you back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Worry About Extroversion, Confidence or Having an Intense Drive <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before I start spewing advice, I\u2019d like to point out some thing I don\u2019t believe are the most important factors in breaking through your comfort zone:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Extroversion <\/strong>&#8211; I\u2019ve already mentioned how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/2006\/09\/07\/beyond-introversion-and-extroversion\/\">I don\u2019t like labels of extrovert and introvert<\/a>. In my life I\u2019ve been labeled as bordering on the extreme of both. Even tests like Myers-Briggs can only give you a representation of where you currently are, not your immutable personality. Before I started public speaking, people told me I was heavily introverted. Now people from Toastmasters say I\u2019m extremely extroverted.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confidence<\/strong> &#8211; Breaking outside your comfort zone requires venturing into the unknown. You can\u2019t possibly have a reasonable basis for confidence when you have no idea what will happen. General confidence in your ability to handle new situations is useful, but this can also be trained.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Intense Motivation<\/strong> &#8211; I end up venturing out of my comfort zone mostly on a whim. I like to stress curiosity over motivation. Intense motivation is good for big goals. But for stepping into the unknown, being guided by your curiosity seems to work better.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Benefits of Stepping Out of Your Domain<\/h2>\n<p>What are the benefits of putting yourself through what can be a stressful situation?<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Growth <\/strong>&#8211; Above all, you\u2019ll improve as a person. Stepping into the unknown teaches you, gives you new life experiences and tests you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pride <\/strong>&#8211; Even if your experience is a complete failure, it feels good to overcome your fears.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adventure <\/strong>&#8211; I\u2019ve found that my success rate with new ideas is unusually high. Sure, I occasionally get a new activity or adventure that turns out to be a dud, but once you push through the initial fears you might find something you love. I went to Toastmasters on a whim, now it is one of my favorite parts of my week.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Escape Boredom<\/strong> &#8211; At least it can never be boring. If you use boredom as your mark of failure rather than embarrassment or results, you can inject a lot more enthusiasm into your life.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Tips for Getting Started<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Discipline<\/strong> &#8211; It can take practice to force yourself to do things that your emotions and body want to avoid. Discipline yourself by slowly taking on more daring challenges. This also means you shouldn\u2019t expect to have perfect mastery over fear. I certainly don\u2019t.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Curiosity <\/strong>&#8211; The more I learn, the more I realize I don\u2019t know. At this rate I expect to be ignorant of almost everything in a few years. Throw away your assumptions about what will happen and get curious instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Find a Safety Net<\/strong> &#8211; Kids sometimes carry around blankets or stuffed toys to comfort them in unfamiliar environments. Use the same principle with your friends. Bring along a person who will be supportive of you to help reduce the stress. Don\u2019t be afraid to fly solo, but make it easier on yourself if you can.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Open Your Mind<\/strong> &#8211; Don\u2019t label certain activities as adventures and others as work. What you are doing right now is an adventure. You will find a lot more opportunities for exploration if you get rid of expectations about the types of adventures you\u2019ll find.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Find Your Strengths, <em>Now Do the Opposite<\/em><\/strong> &#8211; I\u2019ve never been a fan of so-called \u201cstrength-based\u201d approaches to personal-development. Sure people have different talents and attributes, but don\u2019t let that limit you in the types of experiences you can have. <em>Computer geek?<\/em> Try martial arts. <em>New Age?<\/em> Try a course in computers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take Classes<\/strong> &#8211; Courses and organizations are the fastest way to find new experiences. For a low price you can usually learn something completely different. All while meeting new people in an environment that respects change.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use Your Social Network<\/strong> &#8211; People are gateways to new adventures, expand your social network and you can get unusual opportunities you probably wouldn\u2019t have considered before. Becoming friends with a music buff exposed me to new artists and even a concert I wouldn\u2019t have otherwise seen.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Break it Down<\/strong> &#8211; Don\u2019t try to tackle your biggest fears all at once. My approach is to pick a decision and try it out. If it was too difficult, break it into something more manageable and try again. If it was too easy, ramp up the difficulty and go at it. If you can\u2019t get up to speak at a conference, try Toastmasters. If speaking at meetings isn\u2019t stimulating enough, try to get engagements at larger events.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accept the Nervousness<\/strong> &#8211; Don\u2019t try to control how you feel. You can feel nervous or uncertain and still move forward. Just repeat to yourself that no matter what happens, you can deal with it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make Time<\/strong> &#8211; Carve out a section of your day for exploring new ideas and adventures. This website is all about how to become more productive. Use the energy and time you can save and invest it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em> Image courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/taylormiles\/527968979\/\">flickr<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I try not to lead a comfortable life.
