Today I will be sharing tips on how to step out of your comfort zone, since we talked about getting rid of the fear of failure in the last post, I wanted to share the steps you can take to get out of your comfort zone, Without wasting anymore time let’s begin.
Our ability to take risks by stepping out our comfort zone is the primary way in which we grow but most times we are scared to take that step. Comfort zone is not all about comfort, it mostly comes out of fear, fear that whatever it is one will fear at it or something bad will happen. Once you decide to step out of your comfort zone then you will love the process of taking risks and grow with the process.

Put Yourself in a New Environment: Another tip on how to step out of your comfort zone is to put yourself in a new environment, change your space once in a while, I started seeing changes in my approach towards life when I changed my environment, I started working at a bank as an intern, for me, everything was so fast-paced but as time went on I adapted and became even more productive, for me that was stepping out of my comfort zone. You need to do the same, change your environment, and watch yourself grow.

Thank you for sharing these tips 🙂 I’m starting a new fitness class tonight and that’s definitely out of my comfort zone. I’ll have to follow your advice, than
Thank you for this post. I have been procrastinating starting with a course compilation because it is so far out of my comfort zone. Today is the day. 😊
Great blog post! Keep up the good work!
What a lovely post Adenike! Getting outside of your comfortzone is never easy, but truly rewarding. Especially the say yes more often is a big one for me, it opens up so much opportunities! Another great one is to show up, by doing that you already win and will get so much further.
This is such a great post. Stepping outside your comfort zone is the only way to progress and experience life, in my opinion. Baby steps, as you said, are a great way to tackle something, especially if it frightens you a little. However, I tend to say ‘yes’ too often and become overwhelmed. I am trying to say ‘no’ more. 😉 I am working on achieving a balance between the two.
Great tips. I’m not sure why so many people seem to think that stepping out of your comfort zone needs to be done in one giant leap. By taking little baby steps, you can ease yourself into it – showing yourself that it’s not as hard as you may have thought it would be. For example, do you struggle being out in public alone (that’s a SERIOUS concern for some people). Well, maybe jumping into a full blown dinner at some restaurant where you’re worried that you would be the center of attention is a little much… Why not just grab a coffee alone at your local cafe first?
How true! You need to step out of your comfort zone, do something new and scary often. This is what helps us all to improve and succeed.
Yes, it helps us
That’s a really good example.
Great tips! I always worry about getting out of my comfort zone but find if I do, the results are typically positive!
I love that you encourage taking baby steps to get out of our comfort zone. Too often, we think change has to be huge and life altering. Sometimes the small steps can get the job done, too.
That’s true
Easily and achievable tips. Saying yes more often is a great thought starter to ease into new things.
Great blog post! I loved that you mentioned baby steps. I’ve also found that when I do small things that are a bit out of my comfort zone they still make a big difference without driving my anxiety through the roof 🙂
