How do you push yourself out of your comfort zone?

goal setting and achoring.

I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone with HIVE, trying to engage more with people by commenting and writing content - it’s a bit easier here than out in public! !BBH

First, one needs to have the right personality to accomplish that, for example: someone negative, doubtful or just unpredictable will be just unsuitable. Second, having consistency ,which many also fail at.Thirdly, endurance as there will be obstacles on the way

When trying to do something I am not familiar with (or feel scared I might mess up), I usually remind myself life is short and it's either now or never. Sometimes it works, at other times, it needs a lot more convincing or self-conversation.

I will never say no to a task at work, at least not immediately. This has served me well so far in terms of career progression. You never know unless you try. :)

All the time, I write out the goal and make plans to achieve it. Another useful thing to do is place it where you will see it daily to remind you to focus. It works in just about everything in life, from sports to academics!

I'd say that I'm always willing to read and try out new strategies/techniques (proven ones of course, not wild ideas with no basis) when it comes to anything in life. Some of it has panned out, others less so, but the end result is that I learn from my lessons.

I usually think clearly about what I want to change first, what new goal or focus I need in order to get out of my comfort zone, and once I've done that I start working out the possibilities, what I can do, how to do it, what options I have and so on. I think that's the first thing, to think about what I need to change and then go for it.

To be honest, I hardly push myself out of comfort zone. Most of the time, it's always due to external forces. But on a rare occasion, if I feel very passionate about something, I would definitely go all out to achieve it!

A good idea to get out of the confort zone is to do a in deepth review of what you're doing and what are the results of it. With that you'll be able to see what you need to improve with out of the box ideas and new solutions.

My life, unfortunately, is a "comfort zone" that is difficult to stay in, as I have to maintain an exercise routine and also always seek to evolve financially, so the way is to always look for ways to improve and constantly challenge myself.

I think everything in life is a matter of small doses. You can decide to step out of your comfort zone now, and the result will be temporary, but try doing it slowly, things might turn out better, and that’s how I deal with it.

I like to go out of my comfort zone from time to time. I get bored if I don’t do it, hehe. It’s the best way to learn and see how much I can improve my skills. Now I do it when I take the mic on the HHHLive shows hosted by @ph1102 in Ecency Discord server. I’m so embarrassed to talk in English but I try to do my best. 😅

In my opinion, it is more about strengthening our mindset to achieve goals in the future. Some goals do require getting out of the comfort zone to achieve more than usual. With a strong mindset and determination, each goal can be achieved and completed one by one. As a result, we have stepped out of our comfort zone without realizing it.

It is good, it gets you experience that can make some difference in your life. I am usually a person with many fears in doing that, but it has interesting results

For working: You learn different skills that can amplify your next job application areas. I was working 12 years in a specialized area, I changed a bit in this new job, I learned a lot that can be used in my CV.
In personal life: Living new experiences can break prejudices. Going to Disney was one of them. I would never think in going there, a childish place I thought to myself. But it was one of the places where I had the most fun in my life.

So I really recommend once in a while doing, including for blogging which can build more knowledge about topics that you weren't used to post about it.

There are two things that I do to get out of my comfort zone.

1. Since writing is not something I am good at, it means I try to avoid it. Creating content on Hive is a way to challenge this item that I try to stay away from.

2. I am an introvert so being in groups is another thing I do not like. I have started going to see plays at the local theater to force myself to get out and around others. I still do not like it but the play is a distraction that helps deal with being out of my comfort zone.

I don't think I've ever been in my comfort zone. I'm a nonconformist and I love discovering new things. Maybe I should stay quiet to get out of my comfort zone.

I usually use stretch targets as a way to push myself. Stretch targets typically will be slightly tougher than normal ones and when you just work on it, you already started pushing yourself.

It's sometimes difficult to get out of your comfort zone or stop being complacent. Sometimes it happens because you are naturally drawn toward something and want to try it. Other times, it happens as a result of noticing dropping results of what you were already doing and the need to try something new. I guess most of the times it happens as a result of someone else trying it before and sharing the experience. It can happen as a result of something abruptly interrupting your routines or plans, kind of like a wake up call. Recently, what happened on Thorchain might've been such a signal to some of us. It was to me. And it was a trigger to try out something I kept postponing, finding different excuses all the time.

I'm always looking for adrenaline. I don't know if this is something I was born with, but it's something that happens to me all the time. That's why I'm always playing sports. When I realize that I'm in my comfort zone, I go out and play sports or take some physical risks to challenge myself, whether it's running, fighting, visiting a waterfall or even hitting the road to some unknown place. This helps me to distract myself and get out of my comfort zone.

Often it is situations that push me out of my comfort zone while other times it is my curiosity that pushes me out of my comfort zone.
Stepping out of one's comfort zone is also a way to test one's adaptability and break the boredom of habits

I do try to step out of my comfort zone whenever I can.
It's usually by taking on new challenges, trying unfamiliar activities, or learning something completely different.
It helps me grow and keeps things exciting.

I don't get out of my comfort zone much lately. There's a lot of reasons behind that, but I haven't made much time for anything other than work or getting necessary stuff taken care of like getting food and the house work.

I generally don't get out of my comfort zone unless forced to. However when I do, it's because I wanted to do something or I reviewed what was going on with me and decided to make that change.

Sometimes I need some time and in the meantime I convince myself that I need to change something and sometimes when I really need to do something I act without thinking because if I think about it I might find an excuse not to leave my comfort zone haha.

Actually, I don't even know.
I should probably change my life habits, and even that is questionable after so many years. The reason for that would have to come from outside.
At the moment I have neither the desire nor the need to do so.

It is hard for me to get out of my comfort zone, but it is the best way to learn and live experiences. Traveling is one of my ways to get out of that zone.

ALL THE TIME! The only way to grow is to put yourself in that situation. Of course you can go into it a bit prepared and there should be a method to your madness but it's self motivating and a great feeling of accomplishment.

Lately I don't know what a comfort zone is, my life is very busy with various projects. When I'm in my comfort zone I get bored because I'm not doing much or doing the same things every day!

A sudden cold snap in the weather here in Japan, so my comfort zone is sitting right in front of the electric fire, or hiding under my futon for as long as possible... However, I do hop briefly out of that particular comfort zone any time I have a shower, by starting with cold water no matter how low the temperature is! It feels great when you turn the tap to hot and begin to feel the warm water hit your body...

Good question! I think it's needed to push yourself from comfort zone. And remind to yourself that things in our life can changed quickly. In my case in previous year when I changed place of my work I moved out from comfort zone as so as in previous place I spent several years.
Also I'm going out from comfort zone when I studying something new and mot all goes as it was awaited as example.

A large proportion of my time is spent pushing myself out of my comfort zone, both in my career / intellectually (the broad field of medicine can really put some stress on the mind!), physically with exercise, and personally as well (by accepting changes as they come... although I'm not very good at that lol).

Too much time spent out of the comfort zone is not necessarily great. I put myself back into it at least once per day - sometimes the entire day! This is essential for recovery.

Since I was teenager and I read Castaneda, I was an adept of changing something every day. Even small changes like using a different way to go to school/work every day will create ripples in your brain. Routine and doing the same thing every day, one after another, have something to do with the loss of adaptability and quick thinking. Doing the same you die a little. Changing things often challenges your brain and make you better, for longer.
