1. Go Sky Diving
The idea of sky diving for some is enough to freak them out. For others, going sky diving can be just the thing you need to begin your journey of leaving your comfort zone.
2. Go on a Date
For most, the idea of going on a date with a stranger seems stressful and nerve-racking. However it can be a great opportunity to improve your conversational skills and maybe even meet someone great! Unfortunately I do not have any tips on how to find a date.
3. Record yourself trying a new dance and post it on social media
It can be embarrassing and uncomfortable to record yourself trying something new, but going a step further and posting it online might really take you out of your comfort zone.
4. Take a class in something you suck at
Some people are afraid to fail, and therefore aren’t willing to try something new. However doing this might allow you to develop a fun new hobby or skill
5. Get on Stage
A large percent of the population has some sort of fear of public speaking. Try conquering this fear and develop a rare skill of public speaking.
Get to know yourself first
This is just a small list on ways to leave your comfort zone. However, you first need to get to know yourself before beginning this journey. If some of these activities would be so stressful to the point where it puts you in your stress zone then it is ok to avoid. Try something different or maybe something smaller so that you can work your way up to some of the more extreme activities.
