Why stepping out of your comfort zone will benefit you
Truth is, everybody likes being comfortable
And whats so bad with that? After all being comfortable should be the goal right?
Yes, but also no. Let me explain.
Being comfortable is holding you back
They say the worst thing you can be is comfortable because being comfortable is holding you back from reaching a bigger level of happiness.
Think of it like a job. If you are really unhappy in your job, you are going look for a new one. If you are really happy in your job then you’re all set!
But what if you’re neither. Not unhappy enough to quit, but you also don’t particularly LOVE your job either. You’re just… comfortable.
Most people want to stay where they are comfortable, but imagine how much happier they would be if they had that job that they loved rather than just tolerated. This example can be used in almost every facet of life.
Not everything needs changed
Sometimes being comfortable is good. You want to be comfortable when you are laying in bed or driving your car. But breaking out of bad habits or pushing your self to pursue better things is never a bad idea.
Why you may benefit from leaving your comfort zone
1. You can live your true authentic self
Sometimes peoples reasons for not leaving their comfort zone is because they are worried about what other people might think. However, getting out of that mindset and being your true self will make you happier in the long run.
2. You can learn more about yourself
Getting out of your comfort zone can be as simple as trying something new for the first time. Even something as simple as listening to a new genre of music or trying a new recipe can teach you interesting things about yourself.
3. You can overcome fears and accomplish things you never knew were possible
Most of the time when people do not leave their comfort zone it is because they are scared. Whether they are scared of failure or scared it won’t be what they are expecting. However, learning to leave your comfort zone can allow you to overcome your fears and do things you never thought you could accomplish.
