5 Ways to Step Outside Your Comfort Zone

4. Rid yourself of prejudices

Another reason why we keep to our comfort zones is that we have too many prejudices. We have preconceived notions about almost everything and this makes us so insular and parochial, that we abstain from doing things that are new or not in tandem with our personality. Do not give in to your baseless fears; instead educate yourself. Learn about things which you think are weird or scary. You may learn that they are in fact interesting and not scary at all. Sometimes our lack of knowledge or limited knowledge keeps us from having enriching experiences. Get rid of your prejudices and make your life worth living.

5. Revisit positive memories

Another strong way to step outside of your comfort zone is to revisit happy memories. We get so caught up in thinking about and recalling our negative memories that we create a whirlpool of negative emotions and trap ourselves in it, leaving no scope of forward thinking and further entrapping ourselves in our comfort zones. Think happy thoughts and revisit positive memories which help emanate positive emotions. This helps you in trying out things which have the potential to get you out of your comfort zone and experience things you have never experienced before.

Remember that if you do the things that you always do, you will also get what you always get. That will lead to monotony which will make life lonesome and unexciting. Try the above ways to break out of your comfort zone, and you will become happier in life.
