A common area is that; we all have a negative voice in our head, which stops us from taking risks. How do we overcome that?

------------------------------------------
If we start by doing something new for the first time, stepping into the unknown, we will experience some of that change, and we should take pride of that accomplishment as it will draw us a step closer to realising our full capabilities.

COMFORT ZONES;

Dear readers, Are you living in your comfort zones? It did not take me long to choose a title for my article, however I took some time in covering my research because this article in an area close to my heart. Like many of you, I also get caught up in 'Living in My Comfort Zones', It is however fundamental that we realise the backbone of why we choose to live in comfort zones and why we stay there.

------------------------------------------
Over time we collect a set of habits or characteristics that surround us, the ones that 'trap us' in a zone of supposed comfort, the ones that are way below what our potential would allow us to attain and pretty soon, such habits become a ruler of our mind, they fall below the level of our awareness. A key point to note is that, these habits will still determine what we can or cannot do and what we cannot even bring ourselves to try. For as long as we let these habits rule us, we will be trapped in areas of familiarity, simplicity, no room for new adventures for the fear of the unknown.

A common area is that, we all have a negative voice in our head, which stops us from taking risks. How do we overcome that? If we start by doing something new for the first time, stepping into the unknown, we will experience some form of change, we should take pride of that accomplishment as it will draw us a step closer to realising our full capabilities.

------------------------------------------
One benefit of coming out of our comfort zone is that we will reach our full potential in any capacity. If you as an individual, recognise you are in your comfort zone and you want to get out of it, here are a few tips:

------------------------------------------
Start as you mean to go on, take your time and start by making changes in your everyday life activities:

------------------------------------------

  • Rearrange / update your wardrobe, an area you have kept the same for a while.

  • Get into an area of your everyday activity, be it work, school etc by using a different way. i.e., if driving or walking, try a different route.

  • Learn something new, if you are thinking of a change of career, start investing towards that change, visualise doing what you want and being where you want. Start a course to update your skill capacity.


------------------------------------------
Recognise that fear is the greatest threat to us. Once you have slipped into your comfort zone, you stay there, attempting to avoid any feeling of fear or anxiety. Your fears hold you back from most of what is possible for you.

------------------------------------------
Research has proven that the positive side of fear is love, starting with self love or self esteem and that is the way out. There is a opposite relationship between self esteem and fears of all kinds, the more you like and appreciate yourself, the less you fear failure and rejection, the more you are willing to reach out and take the risks that will lead you on to success and happiness, the more wiling you are to take the actions that drives you out of your comfort zone and towards the achievement of your real goals and desires.
