The Importance Of Moving Out Of Your Comfort Zone

March 2, 2023,

Every day we’re moving forward.

Literally.

Just look down at your feet.

Having said that, wouldn’t you agree that just as we move forward, moment by moment in our daily life, in the larger picture, shouldn’t we move forward with our larger life plan?

You do have a larger life plan, right?

A larger life plan could include what you hope to do for your family, your retirement, home or condo purchasing, financial investments, your fitness, eating habits and more.

In order to improve in those areas, it is extremely important to challenge yourself. Don’t be content with the status quo, even if you are happy with where you are at. If you stand pat, life could pass you by.

In our life plan, what is a challenge anyway?

There are many great definitions out there and here is one that we really liked. The team at betterup.com educate, “It means you’ve stepped outside your comfort zone and taken on a new task. You’ve set new goals for yourself, and you’re ready to work hard to achieve them. A challenge is something that teaches you how to grow as a person.”

Sounds good.

Let’s walk over to the book store.

First, a focus on that comfortable comfort zone trap.

The Science of Breaking Out of Your Comfort Zone: How to Live Fearlessly, Seize Paperback – December 24, 2017

By Peter Hollins (Author)

“Don’t let life pass you by. Reject judgment, bypass your fears, and design a life of adventure. Your comfort zone provides the safety and security of being tucked into bed. But in that safety, you accomplish nothing, experience nothing, learn nothing, and end up with nothing. It’s a trap, and you need to get out.

Life is for living, not merely existing. Which are you doing? The Science of Breaking Out of Your Comfort Zone is not a motivational “rah rah” book. It is not 10 different versions of “just do it” or “live, laugh, love.” This book is a little different. It is a deep look, backed by science, into what keeps us from doing what we want, when we want.

This book answers the question: how do you gain the confidence to consistently break out of your comfort zone to accomplish any goals you have?”

Sounds like incredible reading.

Time to transition out of the comfort and directly into challenge creation.

Not being content.

Check it out.

By Jena Renee Rupe (Author)

“Do you find yourself living in your comfort zone a little too much? I know we have all been there, but unfortunately, we cannot grow from within our comfort zones as there is nothing challenging us.

How can you be your best self if you stay where it’s safe and easy?

You are capable of incredible things, you just need to break through your shell and transform. Choose the “difficult thing” and push yourself through the discomfort of the challenge.

Each time you push yourself and do the “difficult thing”, your will-power grows and you become a stronger person as a result. With this book, complete a different challenge every day for one month, tracking each prompt in a journal as you complete them.

After completing all of these challenges, you can reflect on which ones were most beneficial to you and choose to incorporate them in your daily life.

For each challenge you accomplish, add a sticker to your challenge journal. Anytime you do a “bonus”, reward yourself an extra sticker or point. Tracking your progress in a journal is a great way to reflect on your day and look back at previous challenges.

These prompts are designed to improve your overall well-being physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. Each day you’ll have a single goal to focus on achieving. Anyone can step up and complete these simple and effective challenges. By the end of the challenges, you should feel transformed, empowered, and stronger than ever. You can do anything you set your mind to, so choose what will make you grow stronger! Don’t worry, one day at a time, we can grow together!”

Very good ideas.

Transformed, empowered and stronger than ever.

Wouldn’t you like to feel that kind of self-improvement?

That was good.

Let’s look at one more.
