I have news for you. It may be good or bad news
depending on your perspective. Everything you want, everything you wish
to be; lies outside your comfort zone. If you choose to stay comfortable,
you'll never change or improve.
The only way to get what you want and be who you want to be
is to utilize tool #9.
Tool #9: Get Out Of
Your Comfort Zone
Your comfort zone: everything you
currently do, say, or think. These things are automatic and require no
thought. These are the things you WILL do, the things you WILL NOT DO,
the things you think and the things you avoid on a regular basis.
Your comfort zone is different from mine. What I find
challenging and scary might lie within your comfort zone. Something I can
do in my sleep, might keep you awake at night with worry. Our comfort
zones are individual just as our fears are.
By the way, fear is the gatekeeper of your comfort
zone. The only way to step out of your comfort zone is to get past
fear. This is why we choose to stay right where we are. The
prospect of getting through fear is enough to make us shy away from any new
challenge.
So why would anyone want to leave the safety of their
comfort zone? Because what you will find in your comfort zone is your
current life. If you want anything that is not a part of your current
life or personality, you must leave your comfort zone.
Start by learning to get comfortable with being
uncomfortable. Huh? This just takes a bit of practice, just like
anything else. Basically, when you begin deliberately and consciously
stepping out of your comfort zone, you start to see that nothing bad
happens. It's actually no big deal. Fear has just been telling you
it's a big deal.
As you tackle some small things, you learn that you can move
on to bigger and bigger things. These small steps eventually result in an
expansion of your comfort zone. It gets wider and wider and encompasses
more. Eventually, some of the things that used to be scary and
uncomfortable, become comfortable. Eventually, you learn to be
comfortable with being uncomfortable because you know what the payoff will be.
Start with baby steps. If you're afraid (uncomfortable
with) of public speaking, you take baby steps by speaking up in small groups.
If you're uncomfortable letting someone else be in control,you start by letting
a trusted friend or family member take charge of something small for you.
As you get comfortable with the baby steps you can begin to
take larger and larger steps. This is how you change and grow and end up
doing things you never thought possible!
Find ways every day to get out of your comfort zone.
Imagine that I am going to ask you what you have done to get out of your
comfort zone today.
You will be amazed at what you can do!
