Where the Magic Happens: Stepping out of your Comfort Zone

Challenging yourself you dip into and utilize your personal store of untapped knowledge and resources. You will not have any idea what you’re made of unless and until you venture outside of your own familiar world. Once you’ve become familiar and find out the flow with this stretch, what was unfamiliar becomes familiar. Then enjoy being in your comfort zone till you decide to step out again.

Inspirational quotes encourage us to do something that we wouldn’t normally do. However, crossing the line of your comfort zone is not easy. Rather than rendering the fear, it creates more anxiety.

But what exactly is Comfort Zone? Why is it that we tend to get comfortable with the familiar and our routines, but when we’re introduced to new things, the glimmer fades so quickly?

Our comfort zone is the level at which you feel comfortable, with ease, and familiarity. Stepping out of your comfort zone and growing consistently, is to lower your resistance to doing the task and it builds up confidence. Our comfort zone is our natural, neutral state – a place where stress and anxiety are minimal. There’s nothing wrong with being in your comfort zone unless you start holding yourself back instead of challenging yourself to learn, grow, and try new things.

 

Comfort zone benefits in obvious ways: regular happiness, low anxiety, and reduced stress. In order to maximize our performance, we need a state of relative anxiety – a space where stress levels are slightly higher than normal. This space is called “Optimal Anxiety”, and it’s just outside our comfort zone. Stepping out of your comfort zone can get yourself to the next level and accomplish something and accepts challenges and can turn up into an amazing result. However, pushing too hard can cause negative results. Below are the perks of stepping outside your comfort zone.

Helps you Perform at your Peak

Stepping out of your comfort zone is an important factor in personal growth. Challenging yourself in new and interesting things can help you develop your career and other areas in life rather than sticking one habit or routine.

Creative is Innately Risky

Stepping out of your comfort zone, we gain the opportunity to grow, and discover a deeper sense of self and experience different perspectives. We develop our knowledge-based and get us access to new and different opportunities and chances to try new experiences.

Be More Productive

Get to exercise our Mind

Stepping outside of your comfort zone reshapes your brain. It strengthens our mind’s agility for change for faster thinking and developing a solution when there is a problem.

Become more adaptable

People with adaptability are both flexible and versatile. It increases your ability to communicate and build relationships with other people.

More Confidence

Stepping out from your comfort zone, boost your confidence and self-esteem to challenge ourselves. Whether being confident in a specific activity that you fear or generally confident in your ability to decide to take action, face your fears and persist through struggle.

It keeps your creativity and inspiration fresh, but also helps to conquer some of the fears that hold it back.

Creating great trusting work relationships require you to step out of your comfort zone. Having more confidence, you begin to trust and you begin to trust yourself.

 

Challenging yourself you dip into and utilize your personal store of untapped knowledge and resources. You will not have any idea what you’re made of unless and until you venture outside of your own familiar world.
