4 Keys to Expanding Your Comfort Zone
If you stay within your comfort zone you may constantly wonder, "What could I have done in life if I would have just gone for it?" In doing only the things that you are comfortable doing you are stunting your growth when it comes to realizing your true potential.
You don't have to hold back because of the nervousness associated with trying something new.
You can achieve your goals and get beyond the fear of doing what you are presently uncomfortable doing.
Here are four keys to use in order to overcome anxiety and hesitation when attempting to hit your goals.
1-Realize you have boundaries in place.
Understand that you have a mindset that is causing you to stay where you presently are.
We all have harbored self-imposed restrictions.
Some of these restrictions exist even though we are not consciously aware of them.
Determine what mindset is hindering you.
Are you nervous around people? Do you fear talking to strangers? Do you become terrified at the mere thought of having a conversation with people who are in a position of authority over you? Whatever causes you to pull back into your comfort zone hinders you from moving closer to what it is that you truly desire.
Know what your boundaries are so that you can go about expanding them.
2-Honestly assess the risk involved.
Consider the true risk associated with what you are about to do.
Sometimes the fear that you have is perceived and not real.
Most of the time you don't stand to lose anything by stepping outside of your comfort zone.
3-Break your own rules.
You created the rules that in turn determined what your comfort zone is.
Since you made them you can break them.
Take a chance and see what happens.
You will be pleasantly surprised to learn that the more you break those self-imposed rules the more you will find that the consequences of doing so results in positive outcomes.
You will eventually see that they don't warrant your adherence to them anymore.
4-Challenge yourself.
Strive to continuously to move beyond self imposed boundaries and limitations.
Every time you push yourself to step outside of your comfort zone you gain power.
We tend to become our own worst enemy when it comes to determining the limits to what it is that we can or cannot do.
Push yourself to fight through the hesitancy and nervousness.
Get used to stepping outside of the area in which you are comfortable and you will discover that the benefits you receive in return are well worth the effort you spent in doing so.
You'll gain confidence, competence and newfound capabilities.
As you begin stepping outside the box you will experience nervousness and tension.
That is normal when attempting to do something new.
We all experience these feelings from time to time.
But remember the more times that you stretch yourself the wider you will expand the range of areas that you feel comfortable in.
And eventually your comfort zone will grow to the point where you easily do the necessary tasks which cause you to hit your goals.
This in turn leads to you realizing your dreams.
